Senior positions across every segment we advise.
The Seaclear team has held senior positions across every segment it advises. That's not a credential. It's a requirement.
Freight Forwarding
Ocean LCL, air freight, full container load, project cargo, and NVOCC operations. The Seaclear team has held senior positions at Shipco, FedEx, A. Derringer, ECU Worldwide, JAS Worldwide, and Ben Line Agencies. We understand the margin structure, carrier dependency, and customer concentration dynamics that drive forwarding valuations.
Air Freight
Commercial and operational air freight across consolidation and forwarding. Lars built ECU Worldwide's US airfreight operation from scratch across four offices and led North America-Nordic commercial development at JAS Worldwide. Air freight is a primary focus of Seaclear's European and Scandinavian advisory work.
Ocean Freight and NVOCCs
Carrier procurement, LCL consolidation, NVOCC operations, and global ocean product strategy. Michael and Lars both bring deep ocean-side experience including global product and commercial leadership at major forwarders and consolidators.
Customs and Compliance
Customs brokerage and trade compliance businesses. Seaclear's M&A background includes customs-adjacent transactions and a working understanding of the technology and regulatory dynamics that affect valuations in this segment.
Logistics Technology
TMS, rate management platforms, visibility and tracking, compliance and documentation tools, freight marketplaces, and CargoWise-adjacent products. Seaclear advises on transactions, fundraising, and strategic positioning. The team has direct experience on both the buy side (WiseTech Global, 20+ acquisitions) and the sell side (two logistics technology exits).
Supply Chain Technology
ERP, procurement platforms, inventory management, demand planning, and HRIS systems as they relate to supply chain operations. Seaclear advises on transactions and implementations across the full technology layer of the supply chain, not just freight-specific tooling.
3PL and Contract Logistics
Warehousing, fulfilment, and distribution businesses. Covered in both M&A mandates and supply chain design consulting work.
