Givens joins enVista’s Transportation Solutions Group from JPMorgan Chase to provide unmatched expertise to clients who leverage enVista’s market-leading freight audit and payment (FAP) solution. enVista annually processes 500 million unique shipments and manages $11 billion in spend across 5,000 global carriers.

Givens’ expertise provides enVista clients with added protection to their FAP activities.

Givens said, “I am honored and eager to join enVista as VP, payment solutions. With my more than a decade of experience in payment strategies, I understand the nuances and critical nature of freight audit and payment practices for enVista’s clients. I look forward to leading a team that provides an extra source of expertise for enVista’s clients to further ensure they not only benefit from their FAP solutions with significant cost savings, but that their FAP capabilities become competitive differentiators.”
