Carol Tomé

AGE: 64

CITIZENSHIP: United States


 * As Tomé puts it, she broke "lots of glass" when she was appointed to run shipping giant UPS in June 2020.
 * She is both its first "outsider" CEO and its first female chief executive.
 * She came out of retirement to take the gig; Tomé had retired from a long tenure at Home Depot, where she had been CFO, in 2019.
 * In her first 100 days as CEO, she focused on preparing the logistics for the 2020 holiday season and the eventual delivery of a Covid vaccine.
 * UPS has been an essential service during the pandemic, with annual delivery volumes up by double-digit percent as Americans have hunkered at home.
