Highly Accomplished Finance Leader with Deep
Experience in Lean and Continuous Improvement
C.H. Robinson Worldwide, Inc. (“C.H. Robinson”)
(Nasdaq: CHRW), a leading global logistics provider, today
announced the appointment of Damon Lee as its new Chief Financial
Officer, pursuant to the previously announced Chief Financial
Officer transition. This strategic hire comes after a comprehensive
search for a candidate with a proven track record of successfully
leading transformations, recognized operational expertise and
demonstrated leadership and strategic capabilities.
Lee will commence employment with C.H. Robinson on July 8, 2024,
and will assume the role of Chief Financial Officer the day after
the Form 10-Q is filed for the 2024 second quarter. To facilitate a
seamless transition, Mike Zechmeister will continue to serve as
C.H. Robinson’s Chief Financial Officer until then, and depart at
that time, after which he plans to retire.
“We are excited to have Damon join our senior leadership team,”
said Dave Bozeman, C.H. Robinson’s President and Chief Executive
Officer. “Damon’s extensive experience and expertise align
perfectly with the high standards and forward-thinking mindset we
prioritize at Robinson. He is a highly accomplished finance leader,
and his ability to create and execute a comprehensive strategy is a
core strength. Damon’s deep experience with Lean and continuous
improvement will be a significant benefit in further reinforcing
our new operating model and executing our enterprise strategy. He
also has built and led high-performing teams, fostered
collaboration, and developed personal connections that have enabled
him to accelerate change.”
Lee is currently serving as Vice President and Chief Financial
Officer of GE Commercial Engines and Services, the largest division
of GE Aerospace with $24 billion in annual revenues. His tenure at
GE is marked by exceptional financial results and significant
contributions to the company’s transformation.
Lee joined GE in 2021 to bring external perspective, continuous
improvement and an operational mindset to the GE Aerospace
business. Prior to joining GE, Lee held senior operational finance
roles at Aptiv, Precision Castparts, and Eaton — organizations
known for their strategic finance and operational excellence. “His
career progression over 25 years through increasingly complex
operational finance leadership roles at large, well-respected
companies has prepared him well for his new role at Robinson,” said
Bozeman.
“I am looking forward to joining C.H. Robinson, an industry
leading company with a great history, as it takes the next steps in
its transformation under Dave Bozeman and his team. I am excited
about the direction the company is going, the enterprise strategy,
the adoption of the operating model and the commitment to
innovation and expertise. I believe my experience and skills are a
great match for the path forward, and Robinson’s continued
logistics leadership,” said Damon Lee.
