GoFor announces new president
Ottawa-based last-mile delivery service GoFor has promoted Dillon McDonald to company president.
McDonald, who joined the company in June as its chief revenue officer, takes over lead operations role. In it, he aims to help the company accelerate its growth in sustainable logistics.
The appointment became effective January 1.
"We are at a critical moment in our business, where we have big plans to transform the last-mile delivery space into something dynamic and carbon negative — and Dillon is critical to seeing this transition through,” said GoFor CEO Ian Gardner. “With his expertise in energy, infrastructure and his wealth of knowledge and vast experience leading and growing technology organizations, Dillon is a natural fit as president. I can’t be more excited for his contributions to our team, our growth and our mission to change the delivery marketplace for the better.”
Prior to joining GoFor, McDonald served as vice president of incubation at National Grid Ventures, one of the world's largest utilities focused on decarbonization and transforming the energy system.
His past experience as a CEO and tech founder, operator and investor helps GoFor build the internal infrastructure to meet not only increased demand but also make deliveries more seamless and sustainable in cities and communities in North America. As president, McDonald will continue to oversee marketing, sales and brand while adding oversight of GoFor's operations, logistics and technology groups in his expanded leadership role.
“Since joining GoFor, I have seen how the team has rallied to the mission of carbon negative delivery throughout our organization and I am thrilled with the chance to lead them as we help transform our business model to meet the vital challenges humanity faces,” said McDonald. “The evolution and broad adoption of climatetech is more necessary than ever, and GoFor presents an opportunity to lead logistics into a greener, smarter, and better, future.”
