“We’re honored to welcome Dave as a member of the board at Reach and already witness the profound impact his years’ experience and expertise is bringing to our team.

About Dave Mays
With 21 years of experience leading cross-border and eCommerce logistics businesses, including as founder of parcel logistics and distribution specialist Landmark Global, Mays will drive Reach to the next level of growth.
Dave Mays commented: “As much as there is a bounty of untapped opportunities for merchants in the modern world of eCommerce, so too do they face real challenges, none more so than the rise in competition and the potential for inflation following the COVID-19 pandemic. The ever-present possibility of regulatory changes that restrict companies from doing business outside of North America also impacts not only a merchant’s ability but desire to enter the competitive cross-border eCommerce arena.
“With so many factors that merchants must consider when operating global eCommerce operations, I’m thrilled to be joining such a pioneering company as Reach, which truly has the ability to help retailers deal with these issues and to become a market leader by doing so.”
“Payments are the most complex and important piece of an international transaction. Managing payments on a global scale can be difficult, creating company liabilities, adding risk, and introducing roadblocks to growth and indeed participation in the cross-border eCommerce space. I believe that Reach is in the best possible position to provide logistics and payments solutions to retailers looking to serve the top 30 international markets,” continued Mays.
