Yellow hires Naatz

Overland Park, KS-based Yellow Roadway Corp. has hired Mike Naatz to be its senior vp of enterprise services, reporting directly to Bill Zollars, the company’s chairman, president & CEO.

Naatz served in information and logistics leadership positions over the past 12 years with USFreightways, making what Zollars called “significant contributions” to information technology integration at USF. Yellow hopes Naatz will help iron out “synergy objectives” following its acquisition of Roadway.

Naatz previously held general management and logistics and distribution manager positions with SK Hand Tool and Westvaco. He has an MBA from Northwestern University and earned his undergraduate degree in Economics from the University of Illinois.
