Brett Suma

President & Chief Operating Officer

Brett Suma is the President and COO of Bot Auto, where he leads the commercialization and operational scaling of the world’s first fully autonomous trucking company. He brings over two decades of logistics leadership to the role, including a foundational 20-year tenure optimizing fleet operations and network design at Knight Transportation. Following his time at Knight, Brett founded Loadsmith, a digital freight platform that he rapidly scaled to over $125 million in annual revenue while pioneering early autonomous freight deployments through a strategic partnership with Kodiak Robotics. He also founded TrailerHawk.ai, an autonomous-ready trailer intelligence company that developed a unified ecosystem for cargo assurance and digital chain-of-custody before being acquired by Wabash. Today, Brett leverages this extensive experience at the intersection of transportation and technology to build the infrastructure necessary for widespread autonomous trucking adoption.
