Passport, an international shipping carrier built for cross-border e-commerce, today announced Nita Lathia as the company’s first head of marketplaces.
Prior to joining Passport, Lathia served as both vice president of product and vice president of solutions strategy at Pitney Bowes, where she had been responsible for building-out the company’s cross-border platform for marketplaces. Earlier in her career, she was a senior product manager at Amazon Global Logistics.
During her tenure at Pitney Bowes, she developed, implemented and launched the company’s Cross-Border Delivery Services (CBDS) from concept to go-to-market. Following its launch in 2018, digital and physical components of CBDS have been leveraged by major marketplaces and retailers.
