Those who hasten
Expediters are people who speed things along.
In restaurants, an expediter coordinates between kitchen and servers, ensuring dishes reach tables promptly and correctly.
In business, expediters track orders, cut through bureaucratic delays, and push projects toward completion.
The role exists wherever bottlenecks need clearing: The company hired expediters to handle customs paperwork.
