Chris Heibel promoted to chief operating officer at ARC Group

American Roll-on Roll-off Carrier Group (ARC) has appointed Chris Heibel (above) as its new chief operating officer, effective immediately.

Mr Heibel’s appointment follows almost two decades’ service with the firm, having held a range of senior leadership roles, including most recently SVP of commercial.

He joined the company from the US army, after 21 years of service retiring as a colonel and having held critical logistics and transportation leadership roles globally.

CEO Eric Ebeling said Mr Heibel’s “deep understanding” of the sector and the company’s customer base left ARC well positioned “for continued excellence”.

“His leadership as COO ensures ARC Group will continue delivering the reliable, strategic logistics capabilities our service members depend on,” added Mr Ebelin.
