Shopify’s former Global Head of Shipping & Fulfillment, Maia Benson, JLL’s current Global Logistics Growth Lead for EMEA and APAC, Guy Gueirard, and Groupe Dynamite’s former Chief Digital Officer, Max Boyer, will help drive WareMatch’s product development and digital growth while accelerating its global expansion.
MONTREAL, Oct. 26, 2026 -- WareMatch, a global 3PL marketplace and bidding platform, announced that Maia Benson, Guy Gueirard and Max Boyer have joined its advisory board. WareMatch connects shippers and ecommerce brands with third-party logistics (3PL) providers through a transparent marketplace. Shippers/brands compare providers and receive competing bids, while 3PLs gain a channel to market their capacity and win new business.
Where WareMatch is Going
Working alongside WareMatch’s co-founders Ryan Kalisky, Ben Toulch and the CTO Rahul Bains, the advisors will help guide the company’s global product strategy and growth. They will also help drive product development, digital growth, adoption among brands and 3PLs, and expansion across EMEA (Europe, the Middle East and Africa) and APAC (Asia-Pacific).
“We couldn’t be more excited to bring this all-star group of advisors together. Each of the three new members brings a distinct area of expertise to WareMatch. Maia will guide product strategy, helping shape how the platform develops as it serves more shippers and logistics providers. Max will support the company’s digital marketing and business development efforts, with a focus on building the strategies that drive new partnerships and customer acquisition. Guy brings experience in contract logistics and international markets, and will advise WareMatch as it expands beyond its current footprint. Together, their combined experience gives WareMatch the guidance it needs for its next stage of growth.”

Meet the Advisors
Maia Benson: Product Strategy
Maia Benson is Chief Commercial Officer at GCG and brings more than two decades of experience scaling technology businesses. Shopify’s second U.S. employee, she later became Global Head of Shipping & Fulfillment, helping grow shipping and fulfillment into multibillion-dollar lines of business and secure $1 billion in investment for the Shopify Fulfillment Network.

At WareMatch, Benson will help shape product and commercial strategy around fulfillment. Benson is also an active investor, board member, Cornell educator, and mentor.
“It’s time for brands to be able to buy warehousing services with one-click checkout. Powered by AI and connected to core supply-and-demand systems, WareMatch’s commerce platform helps brands know what to buy, buy it at a fair price, and measure its value after purchase. On the supply side, commercial real estate owners and 3PLs gain inventory and yield management capabilities that aren’t available in the market today. I’m excited to join the advisory board and support the product vision, the team and its growth.”
