A statement from C.H. Robinson says Anderson assumes the duties on January 1st . He’s quick to thank Biesterfeld for his time at the helm.

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I thank Bob for his many important contributions over the past three years as CEO and his 24 years with C.H. Robinson. Since joining Robinson in 1999, Bob has played an important role in positioning C.H. Robinson for long-term success, most recently leading the company through a challenging period, which included COVID-19 and dealing with supply chain disruptions. We wish him all the best.

Russell Reynolds, a national executive search firm, has been hired to find a permanent replacement.
