Arrow Transport has appointed Barbara Karipis as its new Group General Manager.
After working alongside Arrow Transport Logistics & Quarantine Services Managing Director, Craig Webster, for nine years as an operational account at Chalmers, Karipis joined the team six years ago and has been involved in many roles including CFO, establishing and managing backroom offshore functions and setting up and managing the company’s centralised invoicing team.
Karipis also played a key role in the development of Arrow’s internal operating system, AOS.
With Arrow now operating out of the five major ports around Australia, the board identified the importance of appointing the right Group General Manager to lead the company into its next phase of growth.
Managing Director, Craig Webster, said the business did not have to look very far.
“With her natural leadership skills, industry knowledge, customer focus, true passion for the business and its success, a work ethic second to none, I think its fair to say she appointed herself! And I could not be happier,” he said.
