It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of OTR Transportation’s Founder and CEO Jon Braun, who passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, April 26th in a plane crash.
Jon founded OTR back in 2015 and was a true visionary and leader. His energy and passion was instrumental in shaping our success. He was always striving to develop new ideas and ways to continue to grow our company. Jon had time for everyone and was always engaged and interested in the people he met. He brought those personal qualities to our company and we owe him a great debt.
The Board of Directors will work closely with our leadership team to ensure a smooth transition and to continue Jon’s legacy. Our internal CFO Tim Ryan is transitioning to President of OTR and we are committed to honoring Jon’s memory by continuing to build upon the foundation Jon established.
Our deepest sympathies go out to the Braun family during this difficult time.
We will all miss Jon more than words can express. He was not just our leader, but our good friend as well.
