Freightos Limited (CRGO) reported a management shake-up on Wednesday as the company announced the departure of Chief Executive Officer Zvi Schreiber, who is transitioning away to focus on new entrepreneurial ventures. The departure set off immediate market reaction, with CRGO shares dropping 2.48% to trade at $2.98 on the Nasdaq.
Taking the helm on an interim basis is Pablo Pinillos, who moves up from his position as Chief Financial Officer to steer the company through the transition period. The Board has simultaneously launched an extensive recruitment process to source and appoint a permanent CEO to lead the organization forward.
Reflecting on his decision, Schreiber expressed confidence in the organization’s trajectory, stating: “It will be a privilege to continue actively supporting Freightos as a board member, and I can’t wait to see where our outstanding team takes it from here.” His commitment to remain engaged as a board member suggests a measured transition rather than a complete severance from the company’s strategic direction.
The leadership changes come as Freightos navigates its position in the digital freight forwarding space. The appointment of Pinillos as interim CEO provides continuity given his financial stewardship of the organization, while the board’s search for permanent leadership reflects the company’s intention to secure experienced executive talent for long-term stability.
