UPS Canada names new president
Glenn Rice, a 27-year veteran of United Parcel Service and a native of Cleveland who started out as a package car driver, has been promoted to president of UPS Canada.
He replaces Alan Gershenhorn, who will become UPS supply chain’s president of global transportation and shared services.
“With Canadian exports totalling 457.8 billion dollars in 2003, my primary focus will be continuing to drive the acceleration and development of UPS’s international and cross border business,” Rice said today in a release.
Rice, who has a bachelor’s degree in business management, was once a district manager in UPS’s Ohio region and its Desert Mountain region. He was promoted in 1998 to manage UPS’s Alabama region and moved to Kansas in 2000 to oversee 18 company departments.
UPS employs more than 6,800 people in Canada and 360,000 worldwide.
