Schneider National Appoints New CEO and Leadership Changes
As Jim Filter transitions into the role of President and CEO, Schneider National is also announcing leadership and structural changes designed to reinforce the company's focus on delivering outstanding customer service and operational efficiency. Effective July 1, two Executive Vice Presidents will each lead a core portfolio with end-to-end accountability for both the services and the key supporting functions that drive their success. These changes will closely align support services with their related service offerings. Effective July 1: Michael Baumgardt has been named VP of Intermodal & Logistics and will report to Filter. Since joining Schneider in 2001, Baumgardt has demonstrated strong leadership in roles spanning customer service, sales, network management and operations. Steve Wells will join Schneider as EVP of Truckload, also reporting to Filter. Wells joins Schneider from his role as President at Cowan Systems, a Schneider subsidiary. On Baumgardt's team, Angela Prill was promoted to SVP of Intermodal Operations. At Schneider, she has developed extensive leadership expertise in roles of Vice President of Intermodal Network Management and Operations, Senior Director of Enterprise Accounts and Director of Revenue Management within the Intermodal business. As previously announced, Mark Rourke, who has served as Schneider President and CEO since 2019, will assume the role of Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors and continue to contribute to Schneider's strategic direction.
