Freightos Exec: Air Cargo's Next Frontier Is Procurement Intelligence
Americas – October 21, 2026 -- Air cargo's next digitization phase centers on procurement intelligence, according to Freightos executive Sebastien Podgorski, after a decade focused on digitizing search, dynamic rates and e-bookings.
Podgorski leads commercial operations across the Americas and oversees Freightos' global airline portfolio. He has more than a decade of aviation and air cargo experience, including roles at Air Canada Cargo in revenue management, strategic alliances and digital transformation. He discussed the shift with Judah Levine in a three-part video series in the Freight Thoughts program.
Peak season exposes existing procurement friction, Podgorski says
Peak demand does not create procurement problems, Podgorski says. It exposes operational friction that teams ignore during stable periods.
