Saia Appoints Transportation Expert Todd Fowler to Board

Saia, Inc. has appointed Todd C. Fowler to its board of directors effective October 29, 2026, bringing deep expertise in transportation equity research, capital markets, and emerging logistics technologies including autonomous trucking. Fowler joins from Autotech Ventures, where he currently manages strategic partnerships with technology-focused venture capital investments.

His appointment strengthens Saia's governance structure as the company executes its national freight network expansion strategy across 219 terminals. Fowler's background includes establishing KeyBanc Capital Markets' transportation and logistics equity research practice, where he analyzed business strategies and financial performance across the freight industry. Earlier roles at investment research firms and major audit practices (Arthur Andersen, Ernst & Young) give him comprehensive perspective on both transportation operations and financial reporting standards.

His participation on the Audit Committee will enhance the board's oversight of financial performance and technology-related strategic initiatives. This appointment reflects Saia's emphasis on combining traditional operational expertise with emerging technology and capital allocation perspectives. As the freight industry evaluates autonomous trucking adoption and digital supply chain systems, Fowler's dual background in investment research and technology ventures positions him to advise on competitive positioning and long-term shareholder value creation in a rapidly evolving market.
