Revolutionizing Workplace Logistics

From aha moment to AirpalsOur founder, Joshe, spent a decade deep in the chaos of corporate and industrial shipping, just trying to keep business operations moving forward. One truth stood out, no matter the role or industry: it was a mess. There were too many emails, countless moving pieces, and too many cooks in the kitchen. Joshe was hired to do creative and strategic work, but every day, she found herself buried in the logistics: shipping product samples, materials, supplies, and equipment for the team.

The final straw? The burnout. The logistical tasks took so much time that she couldn’t focus on the projects she was hired for. But someone had to get the logistics done. Overtime was piling up, extra hands were brought in, but the projects still weren’t profitable enough and that made her boss really unhappy. Joshe wasn’t about to let these repetitive tasks hold her back.

She had a lightbulb moment: she envisioned a platform that would consolidate all the logistics services and automate the manual work that was draining her energy, and the company’s profits?
This was her aha moment: give the old school office and industrial shipping a 21st-century update. On that day, Airpals was born and happy customers were made.

Our Founder’s Journey from Fashion to Logistics Innovation

Joshe Ordonez

CEO & Founder

Joshe Ordonez started her fashion career quickly after graduating college. Her creativity and expertise drew in invitations to speak at events, including one at the United Nations. In fashion and other operational-heavy fields, one issue always came up for Joshe: office and industrial logistics. After solving an expensive local logistics ask with a reasonable solution, she pivoted from fashion to tech in order to create Airpals. Joshe’s knack for marrying simplicity and design allow her to make Airpals incredibly user-friendly and reliable. Google agrees. Joshe was 1 of 50 to be awarded from Google’s Founders Fund. When she’s out of the office, Joshe loves reading about culture, technology, and success stories, all while enjoying the city. NYC provides her with endless inspiration and interesting people that contribute to solutions for Airpals.
