Eliacostas Named Distinguished Woman in Logistics
Honesty, integrity and diligence are three personality characteristics that allowed Angela Eliacostas, President and founder of AGT Global Logistics, to set her company apart from others. She leveraged these traits with 30-plus years of experience, personalized small-business care, and advanced technology to elevate her company to success. This is the basis for her to receive the seventh annual Distinguished Woman in Logistics Award by Women In Trucking (WIT). “She has become a mentor, a speaker and a writer who shares her passion for our mission every chance she gets,” says Ellen Voie, WIT President and CEO. “This recognition program enables WIT to honor those who help support and encourage women in the industry.” Eliacostas developed a proprietary three-tier carrier-rating system designed to reward drivers and companies who perform at the highest standards. She also carved out a niche for herself in the energy and utilities sector as a 3PL with 24/7/365 access and service. Her employees are not only experienced with trucking – several hold CDLs and many are HAZMAT-certified. In addition, 60 percent of her employees are women, many of whom have been with her since before she started AGT in 2005.
“Winning this award is such an honor,” says Eliacostas. “I hope to represent this award by sharing encouragement and advice. To all of the women steering their ways in the world of transportation and logistics, remember this: Achievement isn’t reaching a final destination. Achievement doesn’t stop, it means realizing your dreams and then striving to do more. There will be frustrating times. Always keep pushing. Have faith in yourself and your abilities. Be confident. Then you will succeed.” Eliacostas was one of three notable finalists for the award, including Nicole Glenn, President and CEO of Candor Expedite, and Jeana Hysell, Senior Safety Consultant for J. J. Keller & Associates. n
