About Anthony DeCanti

Anthony DeCanti is Chief Technology Officer & SVP at Ascent Global Logistics. Location: Scottsdale, Arizona, United States.

Change-agent CIO/CTO who leads enterprise-wide transformation in complex, operationally intensive environments. I specialize in modernizing legacy platforms, executing post-merger separations, integrating disparate systems, and building the technology foundation that enables growth, global expansion, valuation uplift, and private equity value creation. My career has spanned logistics, transportation, waste management, and supply-chain-intensive businesses where the technology stack is mission-critical and deeply tied to operational performance. I’ve led cloud transformation, ERP modernization, data platform build-out, PMO and governance establishment, Control Tower architecture, and the stabilization of legacy systems previously considered “unsalvageable.” I’m as comfortable in the boardroom as I am discussing integration architecture, TMS/OMS platforms, or full-stack application modernization with engineers. I pair operational leadership with hands-on technical depth, allowing me to bridge strategy and execution. Core themes of my work include: Post-merger / carve-out execution Legacy system rescue & modernization Cloud, data & integration platforms (Azure, Snowflake, MuleSoft) Supply Chain & TMS architecture (OTM, Control Towers) AI & analytics enablement PE-backed valuation scaling and technology due diligence PMO, Agile, and enterprise governance transformation I’ve delivered at global scale — leading organizations of 900+ and budgets of $235M+ — while driving business outcomes such as new revenue enablement, customer experience improvement, European expansion, operational digitization, and total cost-to-serve reduction.
