She has more than 27 years of intermodal and transportation
experience, 21 of these with Pacer and its predecessor companies.
Krafft has held a number of operational and commercial management
positions at Pacer, a steamship line, and an intermodal marketing
company. She replaces Randy Strutz, formerly chief commercial officer
for Pacer Global Logistics, who has left the company to pursue other
interests.
Derrel Chappell has been promoted to vice president, Domestic,

management positions.
Larry Savage has been named president of Pacer’s
Highway and Supply Chain Services Group. Savage, who reports to
Jeffrey Brashares, chief operating officer for Pacer's Logistics
Segment, will lead the development and growth of the company’s
Truck Brokerage and Supply Chain Services business operations. Savage
brings 25 years of highway and logistics experience to Pacer. He
joined Pacer after a decade with Eagle Global Logistics, where he held
a number of positions including vice president of Ground Operations,
and vice president of the company’s Select
Carrier Group. Prior to Eagle Global Logistics, he spent 15 years with
Roadway Express in a variety of operations and sales management
capacities.

accelerate Pacer’s ability to advance
information system improvements and integration across all business
units. Previously, Ward was acting CIO of Pacer International. Before
joining Pacer in April 2007, he held CIO positions at Inchcape
Shipping Services, Norton Lilly International, and Clark Steel.
David Hoppens has been promoted to vice president, Corporate
Marketing for Pacer International. Hoppens will report jointly to Tom
Shurstad, president of Pacer International, and Jeffrey Brashares,
chief operating officer for Pacer's Logistics Segment. This newly
created marketing function will improve the company’s
ability to provide more coordinated marketing communications, and
build more integrated products that cross all Pacer business units.
Previously, Hoppens was vice president, Marketing at Pacer Stacktrain.
Before joining Pacer in 2002, Hoppens held sales and marketing
management positions with iFLEET.net and CSX Intermodal.
"While the company’s
new appointments consolidate work functions across the organization,
Pacer will maintain separate and distinct wholesale and retail channels
of sale. Both channels are important to our success, and we look forward
to fully realizing their potential,” said Tom
Shurstad, president of Pacer International.
"Growth at Pacer continues through our
ongoing investments in operational and organizational improvements,”
said Mike Uremovich, chairman and CEO of Pacer International. "These
organizational improvements will help us strengthen our intermodal
business and allow us to better develop and integrate our portfolio of
logistics services.” ABOUT PACER INTERNATIONAL
