Washington – The American Trucking Associations’ Technology & Maintenance Council (TMC) has announced Jack Kennedy, CEO and Co-Founder of Platform Science, will join the TMC 2025 Annual Meeting & Transportation Technology Exhibition as the kickoff breakfast keynote.

Kennedy will share his vision for how technology will transform transportation - making a driver’s day more efficient and empowering fleets to perform at their very best.  Attendees will walk away with strategies to deal with disruption in the Age of Innovation.

“TMC is thrilled to bring Jack Kennedy’s knowledge and expertise to trucking professionals from around the country,” said TMC Executive Director Robert Braswell. “As trucking pushes forward and technology advances, it’s critical for our members and community to innovate alongside those changes. Jack will be able to share important strategies to help our industry grow.”

Prior to co-founding Platform Science, a company that is transforming transportation technology, Jack served as president of Qualcomm Enterprise Services, where he oversaw $400M in sales annually. Jack also spent seven years at News Corp where he held several senior executive roles including as Executive Vice President of News Corp Digital Media. During his tenure, Jack played a pivotal role in leading News Corp’s transition from a traditional media company into a “digital-first” organization. He was responsible for a $2B+ portfolio and was part of the joint Fox/NBC Universal team that created the joint venture now known as “Hulu.”

“TMC is at the forefront of trucking and technology and plays a vital role in ensuring that drivers and fleets have an understanding of the transformation and choice available today that are enabling fleets and their operations to not only improve, but thrive,” said Kennedy. “My aim is to provide insight into how the broader ecosystem of distribution centers, highways, back office, and regulatory are all connected and what it means for your business. ”

Registration for the TMC 2025 Annual Meeting, hosted March 10-13 at the Music City Center in Nashville, is now open. For more information on TMC’s 2025 Annual Meeting and Transportation Technology Exhibition, or to register, visit our website.
