How Sherpa helps
Focused consulting support for supply chain leaders making high-impact decisions across freight procurement, network design, transformation, and commercial performance.
Freight Procurement Consulting
Design smarter tenders, evaluate providers more clearly, strengthen carrier negotiations, and make freight decisions that balance cost, service, risk, and execution.
Network Optimization Consulting
Evaluate freight flows, warehouse locations, routing decisions, and distribution networks to identify practical opportunities to reduce cost, improve service, and support growth.
Commercial Growth Consulting
Improve how logistics, freight, and supply chain teams price, pursue, negotiate, win, and manage commercial opportunities.
Supply Chain Transformation & Integration Consulting
Design leaner operating models, reduce organizational silos, align teams and workflows, and select technology that helps the business execute.
Operator-Led Consulting for Practical Supply Chain Decisions
Sherpa is built on experience inside the organizations that price freight, manage tenders, build logistics products, lead commercial teams, negotiate contracts, and execute complex supply chain operations.
That perspective helps clients make stronger decisions across freight procurement, network design, commercial performance, and transformation work — with practical recommendations grounded in how the industry actually operates.
That means clients get sharper strategy, clearer analysis, better negotiation support, stronger operating models, and a more practical path from decision to execution.
Sherpa brings the perspective of someone who has sat inside the operating model — close enough to understand the details, senior enough to shape the path forward.

How Sherpa Turns Complexity Into Action
Clarify the decision
Sherpa starts with the business decision in front of you — freight procurement, network design, commercial performance, transformation, or execution.
Find the real leverage
We identify where cost, risk, service gaps, organizational friction, or commercial opportunity are actually sitting.
Build the path forward
Sherpa turns that clarity into practical recommendations, stronger decisions, and execution support where needed.
The goal is simple: clear thinking, practical action, and better supply chain outcomes.
Built on Experience with the Companies That Move Global Supply Chains
Sherpa was founded by Gareth Dobbs, a supply chain and logistics leader with experience across Maersk, Kuehne+Nagel, Damco, Panalpina, and growth-stage operations.
His background spans ocean freight, air freight, intermodal, tender strategy, pricing, procurement, product management, strategic accounts, commercial leadership, and complex supply chain execution.
That experience includes work inside some of the world’s largest logistics organizations, supporting major customer programs, regional product strategies, tender management models, integration work, and commercial execution at scale.
Sherpa brings clients more than advice — it brings senior operator judgment grounded in the realities of freight, logistics, and supply chain decision-making.
