Having led supply chain transformation and sustainability initiatives for over 30 years, Marie Robinson brings to Voltera a deep understanding of the logistics and supply chain challenges faced by fleets transitioning to zero emission vehicles.
Prior to her 2023 retirement, Marie served as EVP and Chief Supply Chain Officer for Sysco. She led global supply chain operations across 353 distribution centers, managing over 20,000 associates delivering to 650,000 unique customer locations.
