Women in Trucking Association Names RXO Leader a 2026 “Top Woman to Watch in Transportation”

Key Terms

asset-light technical

A business described as "asset-light" relies on few owned physical assets—such as factories, real estate, or heavy equipment—and instead uses partners, contractors, or lease arrangements to deliver products or services. For investors, this model can mean lower upfront investment, faster scaling and often higher profit margins, but it also increases dependence on outside providers and can create less predictable costs and supply risks—like renting tools instead of owning them.

trade compliance regulatory

Trade compliance is the set of rules, processes and checks a business uses to make sure its buying, selling and movement of goods, services or financial instruments follows laws, embargoes and industry standards. Investors care because failures can lead to fines, blocked deals or damaged reputation that reduce profits and share value; think of it as the company’s road rules and traffic signals that keep operations legal and predictable.

Katie brings 25 years of legal experience, including a decade in the transportation industry, to her role, which has grown to include ethics and compliance and trade compliance to support RXO’s acquisition of Coyote Logistics. She led the complex legal and compliance integration to harmonize policies and create a unified standard for the larger RXO organization.

Beyond her technical expertise, Katie is equally focused on RXO’s people and champions positive employee relations from logistics staff to the c-suite.

Katie is deeply committed to advocating for and mentoring women around her. She encourages women in the trucking industry to be bold and curious. Her main advice to those starting their careers is to ask questions and raise their hands for new responsibilities – the same approach she took in her own career.
