S02 E09: Chris Condon, Founded and CEO of Aircon
Meet Chris Condon
He started in warehouses, not boardrooms—working three jobs to support a young family after leaving college early. Over the next two decades, he built a career the hard way: from the ground up in the freight world.
Today, he’s CEO of Aircon, the company behind Captain Cargo, an AI-powered platform that’s giving small and mid-sized freight forwarders access to tech that was once out of reach.
But ask Chris how he got here, and he won’t talk about disruption or innovation. He’ll talk about showing up early, fixing what’s broken, and putting people first—even in a business built on automation.
In this episode of Real Leadership, Chris shares how growing up in farm country and leading through industry chaos shaped his approach to business—and why the future of freight is still all about relationships.
