Vinturas bolsters leadership team as XPENG deal signals global ambitions

Global supply chain collaboration network Vinturas has made three senior appointments across its technology, sales and regional leadership teams, as the company enters a period of significant commercial momentum - most recently marked by a partnership with XPENG, one of China's leading electric vehicle manufacturers.

The new appointments include:

• Shubhendu Shrivastava, Chief Technology Officer, based in Tennessee.

• Nick Neises, Director of Sales, Americas, based in Texas.
• Doris Cheung, Regional Manager, Asia, based in Hong Kong

Rising geopolitical tensions, shifting trade regulations and mounting pressure to deliver faster with greater visibility have made global supply chains more challenging than ever. Businesses are increasingly turning to AI to build resilience, improve transparency, and collaborate more effectively across their ecosystems, and Vinturas has been at the forefront of this shift. By combining a proven foundation of secure, interoperable, blockchain-enabled data exchange, Vinturas is enabling enterprises to move beyond fragmented systems and manual processes, to unlock the full value of AI and benefit from a more connected, joined-up trading operation.

These three appointments bring the expertise needed to accelerate this mission globally, strengthening both Vinturas' innovation engine and its commercial reach.

Shubhendu Shrivastava joins as Chief Technology Officer, bringing extensive experience in scaling large engineering organizations and delivering major digital transformation programs. Formerly VP of Product and Engineering at REPOWR, he has also held senior roles at Walmart Global Tech and Blume Global. At Vinturas, Shrivastava will lead the next evolution of the Vinturas Interoperable Network, focusing on scalability, security, and interoperability that enable partners to harness AI use across their supply chain operations. His appointment signals the company's commitment to building a network infrastructure that empowers partners to anticipate disruption, optimize operations, and make smarter decisions across global supply chains.

Nick Neises joins as Director of Sales, Americas, bringing nearly two decades of experience in enterprise technology sales across digital and supply chain solutions. He has held senior leadership roles at Avathon, Blume Global, and WiseTech Global, and has a strong track record of driving the adoption of AI and SaaS platforms across large, multi-modal supply chains. Reporting into Alexander Style, GM, Americas, Neises will spearhead Vinturas' commercial push across the U.S. market, growing Vinturas' customer base and deepening its relationships with the shippers and logistics providers shaping the future of American trade.

Vinturas' partnership with XPENG is also reflective of the company's growing commercial momentum in the Asia-Pacific region, as Doris Cheung joins as Regional Manager to lead this expansion. She brings over 20 years of experience across sales, marketing, operations, and regional leadership in supply chain and logistics environments, and has held senior roles at INTTRA and, most recently, at Blume Global, with a proven track record of driving market expansion and building high-performing teams across multi-stakeholder ecosystems.

Cheung's regional expertise and deep understanding of digital supply chain platforms will be central to expanding Vinturas' presence across Asia, helping the region's shippers and logistics providers build more connected, resilient, and future-ready operations.

Ronald Kleijwegt, CEO of Vinturas, said: "Global trade is at an inflection point, and the winners will be those who embrace digital collaboration at scale. As Vinturas continues to grow, now is the right time to strengthen our leadership team with the expertise needed to guide our next phase of expansion. This depth of talent will accelerate our journey to become the trusted digital backbone of global supply chains, and ensure that our customers have the secure, interoperable foundation they need to harness the power of AI, move faster, and seize new opportunities in the increasingly complex world of global trade and logistics.”

These appointments build on Vinturas' continued growth trajectory, with the firm seeing 46% revenue growth and doubling its new clients onboarded year-on-year - a reflection of the increasing demand from enterprises worldwide for a trusted, interoperable network that brings clarity, control, and connectivity to their supply chain operations.
