Andrew welcomes Grace Maher, COO of OTR Solutions, one of the industry’s top factoring companies. Grace graduated from Georgia Tech with a business degree and an accounting certificate and went on to be an auditor for five years. But she felt she was meant for something else. In 2011, Grace got her first job in freight at Nolan Transportation; a year later, Nolan founder Kevin Nolan was starting OTR Solutions, and Grace found the opportunity she was looking for.
In this episode, Andrew and Grace cover:
- The best parts of her dad that she’s carried into her life and career
- Grace’s journey into freight and to OTR Solutions, the early days at OTR, and how the company continues to evolve and differentiate itself
- Factoring 101: What it is, how it works, and its importance in the industry
- Grace's personal story of sobriety — how it has influenced her career and where she is today
