Alexandra Griffon

Alexandra Griffon is the co-founder and CEO of BlueCargo, a Y Combinator-backed freighttech startup that turns the chaos of US ports into clean, auditable data. After a stint in M&A at Lazard and retail analytics at Guerlain, she went to UC Berkeley, worked on yard-stacking algorithms inside terminal operators, and discovered ports were a multi-billion-dollar black box. With co-founder Laura Theveniau, she built BlueCargo to monitor, forecast, and dispute the detention and demurrage charges that quietly drain importers' cash. The company has grown from two people to roughly 40, serves over 700 US importers and forwarders, tracks 15M+ container events, and says it has helped recover $175M+ in per diem fees. In 2024 she was named a Rising Star in the Women in Supply Chain Awards.
