Freightos founder is calling for board changes and the removal of Chairman Udo Lange, blaming him for a 62% stock price decline during his tenure at the cargo booking platform.

The founder's push represents a significant internal clash at Freightos Ltd., the digital freight forwarding company. The 62% share price drop under Lange's leadership has prompted the founder to demand a board restructuring. Freightos went public via SPAC merger in 2021 at a time of peak demand for shipping and logistics technology. The company's stock performance has since deteriorated considerably, triggering governance concerns. The dispute highlights challenges facing logistics tech startups as pandemic-era shipping booms have reversed. Many companies in the sector face pressure to demonstrate profitability and sustainable business models. Board conflicts at publicly traded companies can create uncertainty for investors and employees. The outcome of this internal power struggle may influence investor confidence and the company's strategic direction going forward.
