David Leica, CEO of Logistic One Ltd, is collaborating with a team of talented Dubai based engineers to create cutting-edge technology solutions for the logistics business.

David’s decision to double down on cutting-edge technology is timely as other industries adjacent to the logistics business are doing the same. Electric automobiles are rapidly replacing gasoline-powered vehicles, and self-driving cars are becoming more commercially prevalent by the day.
