Frisco-based third-party logistics provider NT Logistics announced a strategic realignment of its executive leadership team, with Chris Todd appointed as president and chief operating officer, effective Aug. 1.
Founder and CEO Lynn Gravley will remain in his role, while shifting focus to long-term growth, external partnerships, and supporting the next generation of company leadership.
“Chris has been at the core of NT’s success from the very beginning,” Gravley said. “His deep understanding of our business, steady leadership, and commitment to our people and customers make him the right leader to guide the company’s operations forward.”
The leadership transition comes as NT Logistics marks its 26th anniversary. Todd, a founding team member, brings the same number of years in logistics to his new role, having helped guide the company through every stage of its growth since day one.
In his new role, Todd will oversee day-to-day operations and lead enterprise-wide initiatives across customer success, technology, operational efficiency, and market expansion. He will focus on aligning operational priorities with long-term strategic goals, driving performance, and scaling customer-focused initiatives, the company said.
“It’s an honor to step into this role and build on the strong legacy we’ve created,” Todd said. “I’m excited to help NT into its next chapter of growth, innovation, and customer excellence.”
Leadership in finances and strategic initiatives
Along with the CEO transition, Alex Fritz has been promoted to chief financial officer.
Fritz joined NT Logistics in 2017 and since has played a critical role in shaping the company’s financial strategy and data capabilities. In his expanded role, Fritz will lead financial planning, forecasting, pricing strategy, capital management, and business intelligence functions.
“I’m excited to continue working alongside such a dedicated team and to support our customers with the same integrity and focus that define NT. With our expanded capabilities in pricing and business intelligence, I’m confident we can help the company navigate the challenges of a volatile market and position ourselves for long-term success,” Fritz said.
NT Logistics said that Gravley’s new responsibilities will center on advancing its broader vision by building innovative alliances and leading strategic initiatives that open new avenues for growth.
“I have complete confidence in Chris and Alex and believe their leadership positions will set us up for continued growth and innovation,” Gravley said.
NT Logistics is a privately held transportation management and logistics service company that provides its national customer base with a full array of transportation and integrated logistics services.
As a non-asset-based third-party logistics provider (3PL), NT Logistics acts as an intermediary for manufacturers and shippers to distribute products.
