Leadership Team

Bill K. Wright, founding-partner, and CEO of TGI-Connect since 1992, has been a driving force behind the transportation industry’s evolution. With a background in electrical engineering, he played key roles at Mobile Communications Corporation in 1994 where he specialized in RF technology and shaped solutions for fuel delivery and Waste Management. Naturally transitioning to sales with industry giants Mobile Computing Corp and PeopleNet Canada, a division of Trimble, Bill’s passionate, customer-focused and results-driven approach in streamlining operations has created a ripple effect across the supply chain aiming for a positive global impact.

Jamie Williams, President of TGI Connect, has refined his leadership portfolio with more than 30 years of experience in the transportation industry. Prior to joining TGI, Jamie served for 15 years as President of PeopleNet Canada, a Trimble company and leading provider of Internet-based onboard computing and mobile communication systems. With additional experience as the former VP and General Manager of DIGI International’s Cold Chain Solution, DIGI SmartSense, the global leader in the design of highly scalable IOT solutions for food and pharmacy safety, facility monitoring, and supply chain visibility, it is no surprise that he is well known throughout the industry as a passionate visionary who thrives on innovation.

Leverages her natural entrepreneurial talents to ensure TGI’s technology innovation objectives remain in strategic alignment with the evolving needs of customers. Building on a solid foundation of Engineering, she passionately oversees technical implementations and develops scalability through constant evaluation and utilization of new technologies. Abeer attributes her success to an inherent sense of organization and subsequent ability to keep things running smoothly; she is known for her high-level professionalism, open-mindedness, and consistently calm, friendly demeanor. Maintaining that her strengths arise from her inherent respect for diversity, Abeer deeply values the unique perspectives of others and is particularly skilled in helping to navigate conflict due to her focus on resolution and ability to bring people together. 

Abeer loves the lively and proactive collaboration that takes place at TGI and believes in keeping customer-satisfaction at the center of every discussion. The flexibility in problem-solving that results from these dynamic sessions is what Abeer credits to TGI’s special ability to nail every project. She likens her work environment to that of a second family and finds the genuine connection with her team complimentary to the balance she’s achieved in raising her two wonderful daughters. 

Brings a strong and empathic customer focus to the TGI Connect team, maintaining the notion that what truly sets a company apart from its competitors is exceptional customer service. Having earned a master’s degree in Seismic Engineering from MacMaster University, Noha spent 11 years as one of the team members responsible for the lifetime extension of existing nuclear reactors both inside and outside Canada. While she enjoyed the technical aspect of this field partly on account of her natural proficiency with numbers, she found herself missing the human interaction that takes place on the business side; in particular providing value to other companies through optimizing customer operations in a measurable way. Thrilled to discover her niche in the transportation industry after connecting with her CEO, Bill Wright, Noha joined TGI and hasn’t looked back. In addition to her talent in identifying new business opportunities and expanding company presence, she takes pride in her ability to understand the unique needs of customers through abstract problem solving achieved only through walking in their shoes. Noha proves time and again that this genuine, holistic approach, combined with her natural analytical skills, equate to unparalleled results.
