YMX Logistics, a provider of integrated yard logistics, has appointed Chris Herrman as chief financial officer, with more than 25 years of executive financial leadership in transportation and energy.

Herrman will oversee accounting budgeting, forecasting and financial reporting for YMX Logistics, whose services include gate management, spotting and shuttling services, trailer rentals and yard management technology.

He will also lead the integration of business systems and risk controls as YMX scales its U.S. footprint and broadens its service portfolio.

“Chris’s deep expertise in capital markets, M&A and systems integration makes him an exceptional addition to our leadership team,” said Matt Yearling, CEO of YMX Logistics. “His track record aligns perfectly with our growth strategy and customer-first culture.” 

“The company’s rapid growth, relentless focus on customers, and commitment to innovation are exactly the qualities that motivate me,” Herrman said. “I look forward to partnering with the executive team and board of directors to drive sustainable financial performance and strategic initiatives.” 

Prior to YMX Logistics, Herrman served CFO roles at Data Clean, SMBC Rail Services and Mitsui Rail Capital. YMX Logistics said Hermann’s track record was in growing businesses organically and through M&A, building teams, and leading organizations through capital and liquidity events.
