Company affirms its commitment to innovation
and its rigorous assessments of outcomes against strategic
objectives in order to expand position as the leader in
logistics
In a pivotal move, global logistics leader C.H. Robinson
Worldwide, Inc. (“C.H. Robinson”) (Nasdaq: CHRW) has announced that
Arun Rajan, their Chief Operating Officer (COO), will transition
into the role of Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer (CSIO),
effective immediately. In this new role, Arun’s focus will be to
drive strategy and foster innovation across the company while also
working closely with the Chief Financial Officer to deliver
near-term and long-term enterprise strategic planning, development,
and deployment across C.H. Robinson.
In partnership with the Senior Leadership Team, the CSIO will
help drive long-term, sustainable, and profitable growth by
maximizing the strategic opportunities of Robinson’s leadership
position in the industry in support of our customers, carriers and
employees. The CSIO will lead the strategy process and operating
mechanisms to track progress and implementation of strategic
initiatives against objectives as well as lead research and
analysis to inform major company decisions related to portfolio,
mergers and acquisitions and organizational transformation.
“With a single-threaded leader at the helm of strategy and
innovation, we are doubling down on efforts already underway to
bring industry-leading products, technology, solutions, and ways of
working to the global logistics marketplace,” said Dave Bozeman,
President and Chief Executive Officer of C.H. Robinson. “This new
role is a testament to C.H. Robinson's unwavering commitment to
innovation, discipline and profitable growth, and we are confident
it will help enable strategic outcomes to better serve our
customers and carriers.”
This transition marks a critical point in the company’s journey
as it continues to drive operational excellence and strategic
vision to become fit, fast and focused. As C.H. Robinson implements
its new operating model that is infusing tighter accountability,
discipline and collaboration across divisions as One Robinson, it
is ready for a CSIO to help advance the operating model while
enabling strategic outcomes at an even faster rate. The position of
COO will not be backfilled.
“The COO role has been instrumental in laying the foundation for
Robinson’s success, driving tight alignment between business teams
and digital investments, and delivering measurable value toward
business growth and productivity improvements,” added Bozeman.
“This evolution underscores the effectiveness of the company's
collective efforts, and the logical next step is to transition some
of these digitally-oriented operating structures into the core
operation and turn Arun’s focus to accelerating strategy and
innovation to drive the company and the industry forward.”
“Innovation is at the heart of Robinson’s competitive
differentiation, and I am excited to serve in this role and help
ensure that we deliver industry-leading ideas, solutions and
expertise while remaining relentlessly focused on continuous
improvement,” said Arun Rajan, Chief Strategy and Innovation
Officer. ”The strategy process is not static. It requires diligent
monitoring of internal execution and capabilities and the
constantly evolving external landscape to take advantage of
opportunities. This organizational evolution is the start of
something really powerful for the future of Robinson and the
industry.”
