WALT METZ BIO
Walt’s employment profile shows a transportation, warehousing and supply chain executive in-house legal counsel
with an established track record of accomplishments achieved for large and medium sized public and private
company employers in the trucking, warehousing, logistics and retail industries. Walt was Vice President, General
Counsel and Secretary of Americold Realty Trust/Americold Logistics in Atlanta for five years from 2005 to 2010,
and has several years of experience working as in-house counsel for major trucking companies. At Americold
he directed the legal affairs for North America’s largest provider of temperature controlled food distribution and
logistics services, Americold Logistics, LLC, including a small trucking operation. Before taking his position at
Americold, Walt served in the legal departments of Sears, Roebuck and Company in the Chicago area and Werner
Enterprises of Omaha. During Walt’s seven plus years at Werner Enterprises he supervised the nationwide
defense of high exposure trucking and transportation litigation for the large transportation carrier, and provided
advice on claims, litigation and risk management issues, including the structure of self-insured liability and workers
compensation programs and the associated layers of excess insurance policies. At Sears he continued to manage
litigation, including high exposure commercial litigation and class actions. Walt also completed a short tenure in
the Legal Department of Old Dominion Freight Lines in 2011. Since January 1, 2012, Walt has sought a permanent,
full time position as a house lawyer for a major transportation/supply chain company and during that time period
has published several timely transportation law journal articles, has made himself available for consultation on
related issues and has been remotely employed on short term assignments. Prior to going in-house, Walt was a
member of two Omaha law firms, where he practiced primarily in Commercial Litigation and General Practice. He
graduated from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln with High Distinction and was elected to membership in Phi
Beta Kappa. He also earned his JD at Nebraska. Walt continues to be a huge Big Red fan!
