Sami Khan
Sami Khan is the co-founder and CEO of Nevoya, an all-electric, AI-orchestrated freight carrier building a zero-emissions trucking network from the ground up.

The company raised a $9.3M seed led by Lowercarbon Capital, runs Freightliner eCascadias for Fortune 500 shippers and 3PLs, and is built around a proprietary AI-powered Transportation Management System designed specifically for the quirks of running EVs at freight scale.
