XPO Logistics Hosts Women in Leadership Conference for Inaugural XPO RISE Participants
24 November 2021 - 11:00PM
XPO Logistics, Inc. (NYSE: XPO), a leading provider of freight
transportation services, held its inaugural Women in Leadership
Conference in Atlanta on November 17-19. The event is part of XPO
RISE, the company’s executive training program for high-potential
female managers.
The company introduced XPO RISE this year to increase the gender
diversity of its top talent in North America. The 18 women selected
for the program represent a range of managerial functions within
XPO, including technology, sales operations, project management and
customer service. All attended the Women in Leadership
Conference.
Featured speakers included XPO leaders LaQuenta Jacobs, chief
diversity officer; Tanya Stokoe, senior vice president, talent
acquisition and corporate human resources; Stacey Woods, senior
vice president, human resources operations; and Emily Phillips,
vice president, advanced solutions, and chair of XPO’s
Sustainability Committee. The keynote address was delivered by
Johnny C. Taylor, Jr., a global thought leader on corporate
leadership and workplace culture.
Taylor, who joined the XPO board of directors earlier this year,
told participants, “You've got to drive the narrative about who you
are, as opposed to trying to react to the narrative that others
create about you. But don’t start the conversation with how great
you are. People are drawn to humility.”
