Sam

Founder and CEO

Sam Rostai is the visionary force behind GridOps and the chief strategist of the global logistics transition. Having operated within the high-stakes environment of legacy transport software, Sam recognized a fundamental failure in how the industry handles its most valuable asset which is time. He founded GridOps with the singular mission of eradicating the manual bottlenecks that stifle revenue velocity for transportation operators worldwide. By bridging the gap between old-world logistics and modern automation, Sam empowers operators to move from reactive dispatching to proactive command. He is a relentless advocate for the operator, ensuring that the GridOps engine serves as a force multiplier for fleet growth rather than just another layer of technical complexity. Under his leadership, GridOps is not just building a booking tool, it is architecting the future of the global transport grid.
