ATSG's Anthony Ferrigno

"During my tenure as SVP at ATSG, I had the privilege of leading a talented team and contributing to significant advancements in our sales, automation platforms, solutions and services, as well as our got to market strategy," Ferrigno told Channel Futures. "Recently, I was part of a reduction in force, a strategic decision made in response to a change in the company’s executive management. While this was a difficult decision, I understand the broader business context and respect the direction the company is taking. I am proud of the accomplishments we achieved together and am grateful for the support of my colleagues."

Ferrigno said that his departure from the company was driven by a number of leadership changes as well as turnover. This all comes after Anthony D'Ambrosi left his position as ATSG CEO in April to lead Abacus Group.
