Grant Goodale, co-founder and chief experience officer of digital trucking network Convoy, is stepping down eight years after creating the startup with CEO Dan Lewis. 

Goodale told GeekWire on Wednesday that he wants to focus on spending more time with his two sons after eight years of the tech startup acting as practically his “third child.” The report also said he plans to transition to an advisory role by the end of the month. 

Goodale and Lewis were previously executives at Amazon before starting the tech company in 2015 with the mission to promote zero waste and increase capacity through digital means in the transportation world. 

This is a developing story.
