Angelica Garcia-Dunn didn’t have much experience in the logistics industry in 2003, when she was a branch manager for a well-known bank in Houston. It wasn’t until she became a financial service advisor that she was introduced to a small woman-owned logistics company that specialized in ocean-to-air cargo from Venezuela.
Garcia-Dunn was offered a sales position with that company, and within a few years she had amassed a strong base of knowledge about freight forwarding that got her another job with a large flatbed carrier and allowed her to open an office for it in Houston.

By 2012, AIM was named the Emerging Business of the Year by the Houston Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.
