In December 2006, Douglas R. Waggoner became CEO of Echo Global Logistics[7]. Waggoner had previously founded freight management software provider SelecTrans LLC, which he sold to Echo Global Logistics in 2006.[8][9]
When Echo completed its initial public offering on October 2, 2009, its common stock became listed on the NASDAQ Global Market under the ticker symbol "ECHO."[10]
