Atelier4 CEO and ICEFAT Chairman Jonathan Schwartz Talks Tech
Atelier4 CEO and ICEFAT Chairman Jonathan Schwartz opines on the impact of technology on the art shipping business on the ICEFAT blog. An excerpt,
There’s a new generation of art logistics, seemingly proliferating, and not on the margins of the industry, but front and center, backed by significant venture capital. For the well informed reader, I am not speaking of corporate consolidators, some of them are in our very ranks, and that type of growth was inevitable and quite organic (remembering that many of our founders weren’t graduates of business schools, nor are many of the current batch). Rather, I refer to internet based aggregators, who boast powerful algorithms to spit out and manage what is essentially a highly idiosyncratic packing, storage and shipping process.
