Grip Hires Industry Veteran John Hummel to Lead Cold Chain Fulfillment Operations

Miami-based cold chain fulfillment company Grip has appointed John Hummel as president of Grip Fulfillment, overseeing national operations. Hummel brings 40 years of experience from Burris Logistics, United Natural Foods, and Reinhart Foodservice. Grip, founded in 2022 by Juan Camilo Meisel (former ButcherBox executive), has shipped over $3 billion in perishable goods. The company operates fulfillment centers in five states reaching 80% of the U.S. population within 24 hours. Grip's proprietary order management system optimizes refrigerant use and shipping decisions for frozen and refrigerated e-commerce, addressing industry fragmentation where infrastructure was built for pallet-to-shelf rather than parcel-to-porch delivery.
