United Road Services announced that Mark Anderson has been named president of the car hauler as CEO Kathleen McCann adds the additional role of chairman of the board.
Anderson, who has more than 25 years of experience in the car-haul, solid waste, fuel distribution and other logistics-based businesses will continue to serve as chief operating officer.
McCann is replacing Michael Eisenson, managing director and CEO of Charlesbank Capital Partners, the majority shareholder of the company that ranks No. 54 on the Transport Topics Top 100 list of the largest U.S. and Canadian for-hire carriers. United Road also is the second-largest car hauler.
McCann said in a statement that “I have great confidence in Mark’s ability to work with our exceptional team in growing our business. I trust him and know that his energy and dedication to our people, our customers and our company will serve us all well."
“Under her leadership, United Road has made great progress in achieving the strategic objectives we set at the time of our investment in 2012, nearly doubling the size of the business,” Eisenson said in a statement.
Charlesbank Capital is a private equity firm based in New York and Boston.
