# Oren Zaslansky

> Oren Zaslansky is a San Diego-area freight entrepreneur and the founder and executive chairman of Flock Freight.

The company reached a $1.3 billion valuation in 2021, appeared on the 2022 TIME100 Most Influential Companies list, raised a $60 million Series E in 2025, and appointed Pat Dillon CEO in 2026 while Zaslansky moved into a full-time strategy, board, investor, and partnership role.
