About

Colleen Japuntich is currently serving as the President of NEMA, Inc., an asset-based Logistics Company located in Duluth, GA. Colleen has been with the company for over 18 years and she began her career with NEMA as the Administrative Assistant to the Owner and Executive VP. Over her tenure with NEMA, she grew her role and her experience and advanced up the “corporate ladder” in a relatively quick timeline. She became the Executive Assistant after a few years with the company and took on all of the Human Resources Functions. She was then promoted to VP of Operations and took on the role of Project Manager for the Implementation of Truckmate, a Transportation Management System. When the President announced her retirement, Colleen was honored to be named President and took over in June of 2019.

Since taking over in 2019, Colleen has had many challenges in running NEMA to include a global pandemic, losing many team members and their experience/knowledge, as well as being forced to get her hands dirty helping out each department to streamline processes, cut costs, and improve customer service. Colleen also had the privilege of learning all facets of the Foreign Trade Zone process along with her International Team and uses this experience to assist the sales team in prospecting and onboarding new customers.
