UPS names McCorstin VP international air, ocean

    Jeff McCorstin has been named vice president of international air and ocean freight transportation services at UPS.
    He will succeed Bob Noonan, who played a key leadership role in the successful integration of Fritz Companies after UPS acquired that company in 2001 as well as the growth of freight forwarding within the UPS enterprise.
    Starting his UPS career as a delivery driver in 1990, McCorstin quickly advanced into management as a supervisor in industrial engineering and subsequently worked in operations and strategic systems. He then moved into various finance positions in Atlanta and Louisville before becoming a field controller based in North Carolina and then southern California.
    In 2005, McCorstin returned to Louisville to lead the integration of Menlo Worldwide Forwarding Finance & Accounting. Later in 2005, he was named CFO of UPS Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) and relocated to Brussels, Belgium, where he assumed additional responsibilities with EMEA Strategy and Shared Services. In August 2008, McCorstin was named managing director of UPS EMEA freight forwarding, which included air, ocean and road freight products.
    “Jeff brings a great deal of experience to this position, including expertise across all modes of transportation and in key regions of the world,” said Stephen Flowers, president of UPS Global Freight Forwarding, Transportation and Brokerage. “International air and ocean freight are important growth areas for UPS and Jeff’s vast experience will be a tremendous asset in driving future growth and delivering expanded solutions for our global customers.”
