Founder & CEO
Robert Khachatryan's journey from the streets of Yerevan to the helm of Freight Right Global Logistics epitomizes the transformative power of vision and determination. At the age of nine, Robert began his entrepreneurial path by selling newspapers in Yerevan, Armenia. This early experience instilled in him a profound appreciation for both commerce and science, influenced by his father, a microbiologist turned businessman.
In 2007, amidst the global economic downturn, Robert founded Freight Right in a modest two-bedroom Los Angeles apartment. Armed with a borrowed credit card and an unwavering belief in a better approach to freight forwarding, he embarked on a mission to revolutionize the logistics industry.
Over the past 16 years, under Robert's leadership, Freight Right has evolved from a company renowned for stellar execution to a technological innovator in supply chain solutions. The firm has developed proprietary technology and established itself as an authority on emerging supply chain innovations, becoming the go-to launch partner for major industry innovators.
Robert's commitment to ethical practices and consumer-centric solutions has been a driving force behind Freight Right's success. By democratizing freight and introducing a customer service layer to the traditionally B2B logistics sector, he has enabled businesses of all sizes to compete on a level playing field. This approach has facilitated ethical cross-border commerce, providing consumers with access to high-value goods while ensuring compliance with international regulations.
Throughout his career, Robert has contributed to esteemed publications such as the Journal of Commerce, Bloomberg, FreightWaves, The Los Angeles Times, and Forbes, sharing his insights on logistics and supply chain technology. He has also been a featured speaker at prominent industry events, including the Transpacific Maritime Conference (TPM), Freightos FreightTech, and the USC Supply Chain Summit. Additionally, he published a paper in the Reuters Journal of Taxation on combating tax evasion by foreign importers into the U.S., solidifying his reputation as a thought leader in both logistics and regulatory compliance.
Robert Khachatryan's story is one of resilience, innovation, and ethical leadership. His journey from a young entrepreneur in Armenia to a visionary CEO in Los Angeles exemplifies the impact that one individual can have on an entire industry.
