ATA Hires New Chief Financial Officer

American Trucking Associations has hired Karla Hulett as its new chief financial officer.

She replaces Dave Barefoot, who retired in January, ATA said.

“I’m incredibly pleased that we've been able to bring someone with Karla’s extensive experience onboard to American Trucking Associations,” ATA President Bill Graves said this week in a statement announcing the hire.

Hulett has more than three decades of experience in tax and revenue administration, most recently with Accenture, ATA said. She also worked in the private sector for Microsoft Corp. and Computer Sciences Corp., and served more than 20 years in the Kansas Department of Revenue, ultimately as secretary of the department under then-Gov. Bill Graves, ATA said.
