About Nick Darman Nick Darman iis the CEO and Founder of Alvys, a transformative TMS for carrier, broker and hybrid operations. During college, Nick began dispatching for his dad's family-owned trucking business. After earning his degree in Economics, he took a position at JP Morgan. However, his entrepreneurial spirit led him back to trucking. By 2014, he established an asset-based brokerage. Seeing a gap in quality operating systems, he assembled a team and crafted his own TMS in 2017. The system boosted his business to an impressive 100 million in revenue in just a few years. Given the success (and friends' interest in the TMS), Nick shifted to tech. Partnering with CTO Leo Gorodinski, the former VP of Engineering at Jet.com , Nick introduced Alvys in 2020.
