Summary
Outpost has named Greg Pearson as its Chief Investment Officer, according to a business wire release dated September 16, 2026. In the role, Pearson will lead the company's real estate investment strategy, acquisition of logistics infrastructure, and leasing efforts. Outpost describes itself as a national owner and operator of truck terminals, yards, and transload facilities that allow fleets to scale without capital investment, and it also develops gate automation technology that uses AI-based inspections and real-time event tracking.
Pearson previously served as Managing Director at Fortress Investment Group, where he launched the firm's industrial real estate business across North America and Europe. The release states he has invested over $5 billion in value-add industrial transactions with a focus on transportation logistics. He has spent his career in the industrial sector, working at CenterPoint and Exeter before Fortress, and earlier was part of a CBRE Capital Markets team involved in more than $10 billion of industrial dispositions. He holds an MBA from Columbia Business School and a bachelor's degree from the University of Southern California.
In comments included in the release, Pearson said he sees opportunity in sharpening Outpost's strategy at the intersection of freight and e-commerce corridors, describing the approach as "barbelling the first and final mile in the right geographies." Trent Cameron, Outpost cofounder and CEO, said he and Pearson first connected nearly four years ago, and that Pearson's transportation infrastructure expertise will be central to how the company deploys capital and grows its portfolio.
The appointment comes as Outpost continues to expand its infrastructure footprint. In September 2025, Outpost and GreenPoint, a real assets investment firm, announced additional capital that doubled the scale of their logistics infrastructure platform to $1 billion. The vertically integrated platform combines physical sites, operations, and technology into a national network designed to help fleets scale more efficiently and reduce costs.
