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
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
