Jan H. Raymond
Managing Partner

Jan works with Logisyn clients during the post-LOI to closing process (he is also involved in the initial goal evaluation, business valuation and potential buyer ranking process). Based on over a hundred completed transactions where he managed large M&A corporate development and integration teams, Jan has developed strategies to help our sell-side clients prepare and manage the process. Prior to LOI, Jan manages the Logisyn financial analysts that work with the client to prepare the due diligence data room. Upon LOI, Jan and his team take the lead with project management (though executive sponsors stay closely involved with their clients). During the due diligence process, Jan works very closely with the Logisyn client and their legal/financial advisors until the transaction is complete.

Jan began his career in logistics in the 1970s in New York City as the logistics manager for a Taiwanese-American joint venture. After moving to San Francisco, he became a licensed customs broker and then attended law school. As an attorney, he represented companies in various parts of the logistics industry before returning to Fritz Companies as a Regional Director of Operations and Corporate Counsel also running HR, Real Estate, Risk Management, and Regulatory Compliance. During his two decades with Fritz, he rose to become Executive Vice-President, Secretary, and General Counsel.

Along the way, he helped build the small U.S. customs broker into the then-largest U.S. based logistics multinational through over 70 acquisitions on five continents and the formation of multiple corporations in many foreign countries. In 2001, he negotiated and closed the sale of Fritz to UPS and became the Chief Administrative Officer of UPS Supply Chain Solutions where he was the project manager for the integration of Fritz into UPS. Upon the successful completion of that project, he left UPS to become a business and legal advisor to small and medium-sized logistics companies specializing in acquisitions.

Jan has a B.S. degree from Cornell University and a J.D. degree, with honors, from The University of California, Berkeley School of Law. In his free time, he enjoys bicycling, skiing, photography, reading, and home improvement projects. For many years he has volunteered for multiple feeding-the-needy projects and Habitat for Humanity.
