The Sy Family-led 2GO Group Inc. has promoted Will Howell from his role as Chief Financial Officer (CFO) to the newly expanded position of Group CFO and Chief Operating Officer (COO).
In a media statement on Monday, 2GO announced that this dual role aims to integrate financial and operational functions, enhance strategic decision-making, and drive the company’s growth and efficiency.
Howell has been instrumental in steering 2GO’s financial and operational discipline, contributing to three consecutive years of profitability and growth. As CFO, he led key initiatives such as asset investments, divestments of non-performing businesses, and improvements in cash flow and financial stability.
Now, as both CFO and COO, Howell will oversee a more streamlined approach to operations while continuing to manage financial oversight.
"I am honored to take on this expanded role at 2GO. Achieving sustainable growth and profitability has been incredibly rewarding. We worked hard to enhance efficiency and improve service delivery, positioning the company as a leader in the Philippine logistics industry,” Howell said.
Last year, Howell played a significant role in the addition of three large ROPAX vessels to 2GO’s fleet, which supported freight and passenger growth in the Visayas and Mindanao.
He also oversaw the expansion of cold chain and ISO tank services, as well as improving operational efficiency in last-mile delivery and forwarding services.
2GO, a point-to-point transportation and logistics provider, has five business units: 2GO Sea Solutions, 2GO Special Containers and Value-Added Services, 2GO Express, 2GO Forwarding, and 2GO Logistics.
It offers multimodal transportation, warehousing and inventory management, special containers, and project logistics, as well as e-commerce logistics, including last-mile deliveries and express courier deliveries.
