UPS picks former Home Depot exec as its next CEO - Atlanta Business Chronicle

Former Home Depot executive Carol Tomé will be the next CEO of UPS, making her one of the highest profile female chief executives in the country.

United Parcel Service Inc. said Thursday it named Tomé as the company's CEO effective June. She will replace David Abney, the current chairman and CEO, who will transition to executive chairman of the board until Sept. 30, when William Johnson, UPS Lead Independent Director, assumed the role of non-executive chairman. Abney will remain as a special consultant through the end of 2020.

Atlanta Business Chronicle reported Tuesday on Abney's expected retirement and speculation of Tomé as his successor.

Female bosses tend to be extra rough. Brace yourself troops.

Have you ever been to a home Depot? The 3 guys that work there make minimum wage.

Am I wrong or do past CEO’s come from within the ranks?

You don't have to know how to load them
to deliver bad news to shareholders.

Management with no assumed ties to labor is a WRONG turn long term. Biz qualifications yes. Sweat on boxes.......

 

[olroadbeech]

has she gone thru the change of life?

If the company were to promote a female from within the ranks to CEO it could cause problems:
1) it could cause resentment by the females who thought they should be promoted and;
2) lawsuits by these females.

Considering the current crusade to railroad females to positions of authority within the company, the hiring of an outsider, regardless of her qualifications, was probably the easiest, quickest and safest way to do it.

I'm gonna ride it out, till the bitter end.


But, I don't see this ending well for us..
