Highly accomplished global leader with extensive experience in international business strategy and transformation, governance and Lean management

C.H. Robinson, a global logistics leader managing 37 million shipments annually, today announced the appointment of Dorothy Capers as the new Chief Legal Officer and Secretary. Dorothy will join the company on May 5, bringing a wealth of experience in business transformation, corporate law, and governance, with a proven international track record at several large publicly traded companies, including those in the logistics and distribution service sectors.

“Dorothy's strategic vision and leadership will be instrumental in guiding us through complex business and legal landscapes and capitalizing on opportunities for growth and innovation in line with our enterprise strategy,” said C.H. Robinson President and CEO Dave Bozeman. “Her deep expertise in business transformation, Lean management, governance, and mergers and acquisitions makes her an invaluable asset to our team.”

Capers has extensive global experience in business, regulatory, and governance matters. Most recently, she served as Senior Vice President and General Counsel for Xylem, Inc., a Fortune 500 water technology company with a market cap of $30 billion. Prior to that, she was the Global General Counsel at National Express, a UK-listed transportation firm with $3.5 billion in revenue, where she expanded her litigation experience to include mergers and acquisitions, commercial and regulatory matters, and contributed to the growth of the 106-year-old company.

Bozeman added, "Dorothy is a collaborative leader with significant U.S. and international business experience, and I am confident that her expertise and leadership will have a positive impact on C.H. Robinson. Her contributions will be key in driving our business and legal initiatives forward and building on the strong foundation already in place to support our long-term success.”

“I am thrilled to be joining C.H. Robinson at this pivotal time of transformation for the company,” said Dorothy Capers, C.H. Robinson’s incoming Chief Legal Officer and Secretary. “I look forward to diving in and leveraging my background helping global businesses navigate complexity, growth, and innovation to help lead the number one company in its space.”

Capers replaces former C.H. Robinson Chief Legal Officer and Secretary Ben Campbell who departed C.H. Robinson at the end of 2024.
