Operator-Led Supply Chain Consulting
Sherpa is an operator-led supply chain consulting firm helping shippers, logistics providers, and growth-stage teams improve freight procurement, commercial performance, and transformation execution.
Founded by Gareth Dobbs, Sherpa brings the inside perspective of major carriers, freight forwarders, tender teams, product organizations, and global account environments. That experience helps clients make better decisions, avoid generic consulting advice, and turn strategy into practical execution.
Sherpa’s work often begins with freight procurement, but the same experience also supports commercial growth, team performance, operating model design, integration planning, and complex supply chain transformation.
