Target Logistics Business Development/Sales Director roles.

The original poster's (OP) 6 years as a startup CEO, even of a failed venture, provides valuable experience in strategic thinking, business development, and operations within the logistics and transport industry. Instead of seeing it as a 'failure,' OP should reframe this as a rich learning experience demonstrating resilience, market insight, and crucial BD skills. The best path back to corporate is to target Business Development Manager/Director or Sales Director roles within the logistics and transport sector. Networking extensively, leveraging industry connections, and working with specialized recruiters are critical. The resume and interview narrative must highlight quantifiable achievements during the startup's growth phases and emphasize the transferable skills gained from leadership.
