Michael Newcity, the chief innovation officer at ArcBest Corp. of Fort Smith, announced he would retire at the end of the year after 30 years with the company.
ArcBest said Dennis Anderson will replace Newcity, who is also the president of ArcBest Technologies. Anderson, who joined ArcBest 21 years ago, is currently the company’s chief strategy officer.
“Michael has made significant contributions to ArcBest in his time with our company; his creative spirit and forward-thinking approach have been valuable as ArcBest transformed into a leading logistics company,” ArcBest CEO Judy McReynolds said. “Despite a rapidly changing environment, Michael has kept ArcBest at the leading edge of technology, from operationalizing the use of AI and advanced analytics to overseeing the development and commercialization of disruptive technologies like Vaux, our groundbreaking, patented freight movement system.”
Newcity joined ArcBest in 1993 and served in various executive positions including chief financial officer and chief information officer. He has been the chief innovation officer since 2015.
“This is an incredible organization, full of people who are inventive, smart and driven to disrupt our industry and provide our customers with solutions that transform their supply chains,” Newcity said. “It has been an honor to serve as chief innovation officer of ArcBest and president of ArcBest Technologies.”
