CEO’s Insight

The FGX’s mission statement was created as a guiding principle that’ll direct FGX’s decision making process in everything that we do.

My excitement for the future is hardly containable. In a market place that’s more interconnected, delivering goods and services around the globe efficiently is paramount. The options available to American companies for international shipping are very narrow, we’re dealing with a duopoly.

Welcome to the stage at which FGX finds itself currently, (as many others have before us). The market leaders have grown large, but in doing so without change, have built their businesses on the backs of a dinosaurs (1); In other words, these companies are LARGE, but vulnerable to innovation, this is paradoxical, making competing both difficult and possible.

The ability to state that FGX truly makes a difference and can say this without a crooked, doggedly cliche smile is a rare one indeed. FGX is insuring this statement by following our new mission. We must constantly invest in our service offering, the market leaders have been providing a consistently shoddy service experience for some time now, FGX must be diligent against playing down to our competition.

As our mission dictates, FGX must aid our clients in realizing positive outcomes. The arc I’ve seen consistently in client business review meetings is one asking FGX to provide greater network coverage (DC, LA, Paris, London, Hong Kong etc…). There’s a tipping point which allows this to happen. Once punctured our model scales very quickly, allowing FGX to both service the market at large and expand service levels. This “tipping” happens when our client roster in NYC fills our network to where FGX can plant it’s model and IP (2) into other domestic and international cities. In summation, gaining market share in NYC will allow FGX to expand, in turn allowing us to better serve the enterprise client. This creates a positive feed back loop.

I’d like to conclude these “comments” with our vision statement:

---

1. There is more than one theory re: the demise of the dinosaurs, even lumping “dinosaurs” together is not fair, maybe I should have used a time period, to make this point, Triassic, Jurassic, Cretaceous etc…
2. IP in this case shall mean, routing optimization techniques, cost, carbon and transit modeling technologies and general awesomeness.
