The Psychologist Who Built a Life-Saving Logistics Empire
Most people don’t wake up thinking they’ll run a high-stakes logistics company. Matt Silverberg didn’t either.
Armed with a master’s in clinical psychology, he was working in the nonprofit sector—until a phone call changed everything. His father-in-law needed help in a niche logistics business. What started as a favor turned into a full-scale leadership pivot.
Today, Matt is the CEO of Associated Couriers and Chief Commercial Officer of Life Couriers, leading an industry where:
Every second counts when lives are on the line
Scaling a company means merging business with purpose
Drones will soon deliver life-saving medicine
In this episode, Matt shares:
The strategy that drove three times revenue growth before acquisition
Hard-earned lessons from merging company cultures
How logistics innovation—from drones to Big Pharma—is reshaping healthcare
Why Conscious Capitalism is the key to sustainable success
