Carol Tomé

Carol Tomé, a Wyoming native, became CEO of global shipping and logistics company UPS in 2020, soon after the COVID pandemic began, following a long career at Home Depot, where she was its finance chief. With UPS’s core business under pressure from the likes of Amazon and FedEx, Tomé has sought to diversify its sources of revenue, and in September 2024 acquired two logistics companies she hopes will help UPS build its health care logistics business for items that might need temperature-controlled storage and transportation, for instance. She expects that business to double to $20 billion in revenue within two years. Under Tomé, UPS has landed a big deal with the USPS and now handles most of its air cargo. UPS also recently bought Happy Returns, a sales returns tech provider.
