Montway Auto Transport on Tuesday handed responsibilities of being chief financial officer to an executive who helped her previous employer hit $1 billion in revenue while also being involved in more than a dozen acquisitions.

Now CFO for one of the nation’s leading third-party logistics brokerages is Anna Maria Pellegrino, who will oversee Montway’s finance, accounting, and pricing functions, while driving strategic growth initiatives to advance the company’s industry position.

“Anna Maria knows exactly how to scale complex businesses, making her the perfect leader to accelerate our current momentum,” Montway Auto Transport chairman and CEO Tom Gartland said in a news release. “Her expertise in M&A and operational excellence will strengthen our position as the industry navigates rapid technological change and ongoing market uncertainty.”

Known for her ability to scale complex organizations, Montway highlighted Pellegrino has more than 15 years of experience as a finance leader and strategic partner to private equity-backed enterprises.

Pellegrino most recently served as senior vice president of FP&A and corporate development at PLZ Corp., supporting the company’s revenue growth from $500 million to $1 billion. Montway mentioned she also has successfully integrated 13 acquisitions and generated more than $500 million in enterprise value throughout her career.

Montway acknowledged Pellegrino’s appointment comes at a pivotal moment for auto transport and logistics. As the industry navigates economic uncertainty and labor shortages, it is also rapidly adopting artificial intelligence, automation, and digital solutions to drive efficiency.

As CFO, Pellegrino will take on responsibilities that leverage her expertise in financial strategy and organizational scaling. Her role will focus on:

—Strategic financial partnership: Continue building the finance function from a reporting department into a forward-looking growth driver, providing real-time performance visibility that empowers functional leaders to make data-backed decisions.

—M&A integration and value creation: Drawing on her experience leading 13 acquisitions to support Montway’s growth through disciplined evaluation and integration of strategic opportunities.

—Disciplined scaling: Refining unit economics and optimizing cost-to-serve to ensure margins expand alongside revenue growth, while maintaining healthy cash flow across all business units.

“Montway sits at a fascinating intersection of logistics and technology, and the opportunity here is tremendous,” Pellegrino said. “My goal is for finance to serve as the economic engine room, a navigator identifying the most profitable routes for Montway’s future. I am confident we will bring even more solutions to a broader array of customers and clients.”
