BOBBY HARRIS

FOUNDER, PRESIDENT & CEO, BLUEGRACE LOGISTICS, RIVERVIEW

Founded in 2009, BlueGrace is a third-party logistics firm that helps businesses manage and optimize their freight costs through the company’s shipping technology platform and carrier relationships. The fast-growing company — ranked 95th in Florida Trend’s count of the state’s largest private companies — had $894 million in 2024 revenue and employs 635 people at more than five dozen corporate and franchise locations across the U.S. Those numbers should grow with BlueGrace’s January acquisition of FreightCenter. Harris is a University of South Florida graduate and gained experience in logistics and supply chains while working at Southeastern Freight Lines, where he was an account manager, and as a United Shipping Solutions franchiser.
