Chattanooga-based warehouse and logistics giant Kenco Group has shuffled its top management, inserting a new chairman, chief executive and president.
The privately held company, which boasts more than 100 facilities in 30 states and Canada, has named Jane Kennedy Greene as chief executive and chairwoman.
The daughter of company co-founder Jim Kennedy Jr., she purchased a controlling interest in the business, according to Kenco. Her brother, Jim Kennedy III, had been chairman.
Also, Greene replaces Gary Mayfield as CEO of the company, Kenco said. Mayfield has retired after 18 years with the business, the company said, but he will serve on both the executive committee and board of directors.
