CHRISTOPHER J. CONNOR


PRESIDENT AND CEO, AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF PORT AUTHORITIES, ALEXANDRIA


As chief of the American Association of Port Authorities, founded in 1912, Connor works as an industry spokesman and public policy advocate for 130 public port authorities across the United States, Canada, the Caribbean and Latin America. It’s still early in Connor’s tenure. He took his


position in October 2019, bringing a range of shipping and logistics experience — he worked for United States Lines and Crowley Maritime, before becoming global president and CEO of Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics AS. Automotive Purchasing and Supply Chain Magazine named him Logistician of the Year in 2013. Supply chains are undergoing changes and


disruptions due to the coronavirus. Another big shift, Connor told Seatrade Maritime News in June, is that “the pandemic has heightened shippers’ awareness of the need to have ready access to essential products and materials without the worries of international trade tensions, long shipping delays, environmental concerns related to shipping and other issues ham- pering access to goods and affecting their costs.” A graduate of Vanderbilt University, Connor also


serves as business advisory board chairman of Xylyx Bio Inc. and is on the board of Te Pasha Group.


JAY CROFTON


OWNER AND PRESIDENT, CROFTON


INDUSTRIES INC., PORTSMOUTH


Crofton Industries, which provides professional diving services for the maritime industry, grew out of a diving business started by Navy veteran Juan F. Crofton and a friend in 1949. Crofton’s four children — Bob, Kenny, Camille


and Jay — were working at the growing company by 1983, and they remain on its leadership team. Jay Crofton serves as president of the company,


which offers services including commercial diving, hydraulic cranes and crane rental, rigging, marine construction and engineering. In a company video, Crofton notes that attention


to safety has been important from the beginning. Te company had to develop its own protocols, because OSHA regulations were nonexistent in the early days. Crofton Industries celebrated its 70th anniver-


sary last year. In a story about its milestone, Te Virginian-Pilot noted that the company had been key in preserving regional infrastructure, including the replacement of the Bonner Bridge, helping with the replacement of Portsmouth’s seawall and inspecting the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel. As for the company’s future, a third generation now works in the family business.


JOHN CUOMO


CEO AND PRESIDENT, VSE CORP., ALEXANDRIA


Cuomo took the reins of logistics company VSE Corp. in April 2019. After graduating from Florida Atlantic


University in 1996, Cuomo earned a law degree from the University of Miami School of Law and went on to pick up his MBA from the University of Florida. He followed that up with nearly 20 years in the aerospace industry, working for B/E Aerospace Inc. and then its spinoff, Aerospace Solutions Group. When that company was acquired by The Boeing Co., Cuomo served as vice president and general manager of Boeing Distribution Services. VSE was founded in 1959 and drew much of


its work serving the Department of Defense. A little more than 40% of its revenue in 2019 came from defense contracts, which included work on military vehicles, ships and aircraft, along with technology and engineering services. Its other two arms are supply chain management


and aviation — the latter of which recently announced a partnership with 1st Choice Aerospace and Aviation Clean Air on a project that tested ionization technol- ogy and purification systems as a way to sterilize the COVID-19 virus in aircraft interiors.

MOST RECENT BOOK READ: “The Nightingale,” by Kristin Hannah.


BEVERAGE OF CHOICE: From a business perspective, I would say Pepsi, because our airports entered into a pouring rights agreement with the company.


PERSON I ADMIRE: Muhammad Ali, because he was so relevant during my formative years. He knew how to handle adversity and he had the ability to bring diverse people together.


ROBEY W. ‘ROB’ ESTES JR.


CEO, ESTES EXPRESS LINES, RICHMOND


Taking over CEO duties from his father in 1990, Estes now runs the company started by his late grandfather, W.W. Estes, in 1931. Rob Estes has seen the implementation of new


technology and exponential growth at the trucking company, which employs more than 18,000 people and last year served 1.54 million direct points in all 50 states, with service to Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean. A year after Estes became CEO, annual revenue


hit $100 million. By 1994, it had doubled to $200 million, and 10 years later reached $1 billion. By 2014, Estes was recording more than $2 billion in revenue, soaring to $3.1 billion in 2018. Tat landed it on the Forbes list of American’s Largest Private Companies in 2019, at No. 153. Estes told Virginia Business in 2016 that a


hallmark of his leadership was planning conservatively for growth. “We make sure decisions are long-term focused and not quick decisions that will have a long-term negative impact on the company,” Estes said. Estes' son Webb is continuing the tradition, serving as a vice president at the company.


GEORGE GOLDMAN


PRESIDENT, ZIM AMERICAN INTEGRATED SHIPPING SERVICES LTD., NORFOLK


ZIM is a mammoth shipping services provider that operates around the globe, reaching more than 100 countries. As part of an expansion strategy, it launched an independent arm in the United States in 2015, tapping Goldman to lead its business. Before docking at ZIM, Goldman worked most


of his career for APL ocean carriers in leadership roles that took him from Singapore to Scottsdale, Arizona. A native of the Netherlands, Goldman grew up


on the West Coast. He’s a graduate of San Jose State University in California, attended graduate school at New York University and took executive management courses at the University of Michigan. ZIM American has added ports during


Goldman’s term and in June launched an express service that offered 12-day transit from South China to Los Angeles, the Journal of Commerce reported. “We always had a keen interest in returning to the U.S. West Coast,” Goldman told JOC, “but it all depends on scope and scale.”
