Congratulations, Sara Goodman-Stickler! We look forward to partnering with you, continuing to serve and support the cold chain.
We are delighted to share the news that Sara Goodman-Stickler has been appointed as our new President and CEO. We are proud that she will lead our mission of promoting and growing the global cold chain. Greg Laurin led the Search Committee and said “We were very impressed with Sara and are confident that under her strong leadership we will continue to address the strategic priorities of our global and growing membership as well as meet the evolving needs of the cold chain industry.” Sara comes to GCCA from WTS International, an organization dedicated to creating a more diverse, inclusive, and equitable transportation industry through the global advancement of women, where she served as the President & CEO since 2018. On announcing the news Sara said “GCCA is at the forefront of one of the world’s most critical industries – the perishable food supply chain. I am excited to join such an important organization providing valuable resources, training, education and research to ensure the safe and efficient movement of products globally. I look forward to working with the Boards, Members, and Staff to lead the GCCA into the future, and I thank Greg and the Search Committee for their trust and support.” Sara will join us on Tuesday 3rd September, and we look forward to telling you more in due course.
