About Us

Why we exist

OntegosCloud was founded to solve a problem that most freight forwarding organizations quietly accept:

a lack of economic control despite enormous operational effort.

Over decades, freight forwarding has accumulated complexity, fragmented accountability, and political reporting structures.

The result is a widening gap between:

• reported performance and economic reality,
• effort and outcome,
• management intent and operational execution.

We exist to close that gap.

Not through narratives, transformation programs, or additional management layers —

but through operational control systems that make reality visible and actionable.

Where we come from

OntegosCloud is built on more than four decades of hands-on executive experience in global freight forwarding.

Our foundations were shaped in:

• global CEO and CFO roles,
• large-scale turnaround and restructuring situations,
• integration of complex international organizations,
• and direct responsibility for profit, cash flow, and capital efficiency.

We did not study freight forwarding from the outside.

We operated it — under pressure, at scale, and with full accountability.

This experience defines our work today.

How we think

 We believe that freight forwarding is not mysterious or inherently unmanageable.

It is:

• a system of thousands of daily operational decisions,
• executed across borders, products, and organizations,
• that must ultimately translate into cash and return on capital. 

Performance does not fail because of missing knowledge.

It fails because organizations lack end-to-end transparency, clear ownership, and feedback loops that work in real time.

Our thinking is based on a few non-negotiable principles:

• One version of the truth
• End-to-end accountability
• Economic metrics that reconcile with audited financials
• Actionable information at the operational frontline

How we work

We work selectively and with a clear bias toward action.

Depending on the situation, we engage in three ways:

• Special Situations Interventions (90–180 days, measurable outcomes)
• Implementation of the Ontegos Operating System
• Executive Reality Labs for leaders facing complex, high-pressure decisions

In all engagements, we focus on:

• measurable improvements in profitability and cash flow,
• rapid visibility of economic reality,
• and organizational buy-in based on facts — not persuasion.

 Our work is not risk-free.

It requires leadership willingness to act on what the data reveals.

What we deliberately are not

We are not:

• a general consulting firm,
• a transformation program provider,
• a reporting or BI vendor,
• or a solution for organizations seeking consensus without consequence.

We deliberately do not work with organizations that:

• operate in a perceived “steady state” without urgency,
• treat transparency as a political risk,
• delegate responsibility without decision authority,
• or prefer alignment over results.

If this sounds uncomfortable, we may be relevant.
