BLOOMINGTON, Minn., October 22, 2024 (Newswire.com) - Dispatch, a leader in last-mile delivery technology, proudly announces Joyce Schofield's appointment as the new Vice President of Product. With over 15 years of experience leading product teams at startups and larger enterprises, she is poised to lead Dispatch into its next phase of delivery technology innovation and growth.
"I’m thrilled to join Dispatch at such a pivotal moment," said Schofield. "I’ve always had a passion for building core technology, and this opportunity allows me to do just that—redefine last-mile delivery through an entrepreneurial mindset."
In her new role, Schofield has set ambitious goals for Dispatch. In the short term, her focus is on strengthening the company’s market position and unifying its on-demand delivery and delivery management capabilities.
