I have great confidence in the next phase of GetSwift's growth. I wish nothing but the best for the future of GetSwift,” Mr. Hunter continued.

The board of directors has appointed the company's founder and current President, Joel Macdonald, as Interim CEO, effective immediately. "We are excited about Joel's appointment as CEO of GetSwift.
