Louis DeJoy, Chairman and CEO of New Breed Logistics, is joining the Wyndham Championship as the honorary chairman, it was announced during the inaugural meeting of the Piedmont Triad Charitable Foundation Founders Club.
Born in Brooklyn, N.Y., DeJoy attended Stetson University in Florida where he earned an accounting degree. He worked for several years as a CPA at a major accounting firm in Florida before returning to New York to work with his family’s trucking business.
New Breed Logistics emanated from that small trucking company founded in 1968. DeJoy joined the company in 1982 and quickly broadened its focus to information technology-based logistics management solutions and moved the business to the Piedmont Triad. His energy and vision transformed New Breed into a leader in third-party logistics. Services range from distribution center operations and transportation management to highly sophisticated and technology-focused solutions involving product assembly, vendor managed inventory, reverse logistics and repair, manufacturing support, and supply chain consulting.
As the honorary chairman, DeJoy is serving as an ambassador for the PGA TOUR event which provides important economic benefits for the entire region and the state. As the Wyndham Championship evolves, the honorary chairman leads the charge to promote Piedmont Triad regionalism through the PGA TOUR event.
“I enjoy being involved with things that are well-run and are consequential,” DeJoy said. “The Wyndham Championship is extremely enjoyable and has a significant positive impact on our community. Everything that is worth something takes vision and teamwork. The Wyndham Championship embodies collaboration and success in our community, and I am proud to serve as Honorary Chairman of this year’s tournament.”
