Charlene Thomas’s new role signals a significant step forward
for UPS as the company strives to build a more inclusive and
equitable operating environment. Her responsibilities will include
furthering UPS’s programs and initiatives that infuse DEI into all
aspects of the company, and tracking and communicating progress

suppliers, customers and other external partners to encourage the
adoption of more proactive DEI efforts.
Thomas began her UPS career in 1989 and has progressed through
various leadership roles at the company. In addition to her
extensive operations knowledge, she has experience in global
marketing and training and development. In her current role as

“Charlene’s leadership has been instrumental as we’ve evolved
our H.R. strategy and approach,” said Tomé. “Her vision, experience
and knowledge of UPS will be great assets as she champions
diversity, equity and inclusion as part of our people-led strategy
to make UPS an even better place to work.”
