Tibbetts named group president at ODW Logistics

ODW Logistics has a new group president, Troy Tibbetts. 

The 3PL announced Monday that Tibbetts had been hired from STG Logistics in a role that the company said would be in charge of “ODW’s commercial and operational strategy across contract logistics and transportation management.”

ODW is based in Columbus, Ohio.

“His appointment follows a comprehensive executive search and represents a significant milestone in advancing ODW’s long-term vision of providing scalable, technology-enabled logistics solutions to an expanding customer base,” ODW said in a prepared statement announcing Tibbetts’ hiring.

Tibbetts also has had executive roles in the logistics field at Maersk and XPO, the company said.

Tibbetts is succeeding Ted Nikolai. However, ODW said Nikolai will remain with the company in a senior advisory role through the end of 2025. He will then become a member of ODW’s senior board of advisers. 

Tibbetts is the fourth group president in the 54-year history of ODW. He will report to CEO John Ness. 

“Troy brings a strategic vision and a proven ability to align high-performing teams with organizational goals, which perfectly complements ODW’s values and aspirations,” Ness said in the ODW statement.

In the statement, Tibbetts said of ODW that it has a “focus on continuous improvement and building strategic partnerships [that] aligns with my own leadership philosophy.”
