Freightera\u2019s<\/a> Eric Beckwitt just made the top of the list of Vancouver\u2019s most likable CEOs!!<\/p>\n

We may think that a CEO isn\u2019t approachable or someone we will never ever meet in the office. But just like this nomination suggests, Eric is very likable indeed!! When I first met him in his CEO role, I was surprised at how approachable and \u201chumane\u201d he is! And it\u2019s something that many people comment on. Eric is very humble and never hesitates to pick up the phone to call any of the employees to spend quality time and on improving communication, or any customer for that matter. He is constantly looking for solutions so our online meetings can be more open and friendly \u2013 just like recently, we started video-chatting instead of simple old audio.<\/p>\n

All that to say, yes, Eric is a very likable CEO!! Thank you Owler<\/a> for your rating, and Vancouver Sun<\/a> for featuring us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
