Danielle Spinelli

Danielle Spinelli spent 8 years as a broker moving high-value freight — copper, electrical, postal — and getting hit by cargo theft enough times to make it her mission. Now Director of Partnerships at Gen Logs, she breaks down how cargo theft has evolved from smash-and-grab to sophisticated load hostages and overseas shipments, why your vetting process might be blocking good carriers while bad actors slip through, and how AI is now arming thieves faster than the industry is adapting.
