Wiley’s Career
I operate at the intersection of supply chain, technology, and capital — as a P&L executive, a builder, and an investor.
At Maersk, I lead a $500M+ heavy bulky last-mile delivery business across North America — managing 90 FTEs, turning around a loss-making division to profitability in three months, and deploying AI-powered tools that are saving $10M annually. Before that, I co-founded Maersk’s first Innovation Center and spent years building the operational and digital infrastructure that powers one of the world’s largest logistics companies.
Outside of Maersk, I’m building AISCHub (a supply chain AI education platform), ShiftSync (a shift handoff app for logistics and warehouse teams), and an AI agency helping small businesses automate operations. I invest through FOG Ventures, Operators Guild, and Gaingels — with 15+ investments focused on supply chain, B2B services, and PropTech.
