Anthony De Filippis

From a young age, I was excited by other cultures and transportation making faraway places feel close or the world smaller. Our family business, CargoTrans, has long provided a backdrop for my global curiosity. Growing up, I spent countless summers, weekends, and school holidays learning by doing. I began to see our work as more than transporting things, but rather transporting the story of a place to somewhere new. In the process, we improve lives and create global connections.

When it came time for me to begin my college studies, I chose to focus on finance, accounting, and international business at NYU Stern School of Business. I never anticipated returning to our family business CargoTrans, preferring instead to find my own path out in the world. After living abroad and working in finance for several years, however, I became excited about the opportunity to apply what I had learned to our family business.

In 2009, I joined my father and brother Nunzio at CargoTrans. In the same year, I also co-founded our sister business De Fili Solutions (DFS) to drive growth into the warehousing and third-party logistics vertical. I am so proud of the way Nunzio and I have been able to grow and innovate together. I could not be more excited about the future of our business and the ways we will continue to create great experiences for our team, customers, and partners. Let’s make the world smaller together!
