Amware Team

Meet the team

Amware is a flat organization where people are engaged in either doing the work or interacting with customers. We’re busy and we like it that way. You won’t see any middle managers sitting at desks writing CYA emails. We’re in business to serve. If you need to talk to someone on our senior leadership team, just pick up the phone or send us an email.

Our senior team consists mostly of “big company” logistics professionals who came to Amware to build something great, unencumbered by red tape. That team includes:

 

Harry Drajpuch, Chief Executive Officer

Harry is a 30+ year logistics industry veteran who has held CEO and senior management roles at several large logistics firms. He has driven performance improvements in a wide variety of logistics operations, including eCommerce fulfillment, retail distribution, service parts distribution, reverse logistics, and transportation operations.

Harry’s work passion: driving operational discipline and quality. His play passion: flying. He is an instrument rated pilot who flies his own plane.

Brooklyn born, Harry now lives with his wife in Chandler, Arizona but he travels often throughout the country to visit customers and Amware facilities.
