In addition, this year’s recognition highlights the variety of important roles that contribute to our success and make us an essential part of the supply chain. I’m proud to celebrate my colleagues’ accomplishments and am grateful have them on our team.”
The eight Yellow employees on WIT’s list are:
- Jennifer Albers, engineering manager

- Georgy Barlow, director of business development strategic accounts
- Joëlle Jantzen, manager of HR compliance
- Foster Kaman, manager of sales planning & support
- Alyssa Lamport, operations manager
- Tracy Walker, director of safety
- Shelly Willingham, engineering manager
The women selected by WIT for the 2022 list represent a broad range of companies, including motor carriers, third-party logistics companies, equipment manufacturers, retailer truck dealers, professional services providers and more.
“This exceptional group of women have persevered through the uncertain times brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, exhibiting the true example of a leader,” said Ellen Voie, WIT president and CEO. “The resilience displayed by these women supports and furthers the mission of the Women In Trucking Association to encourage the employment of women in the trucking industry, promote their accomplishments and minimize obstacles faced by women working in the industry.”
Yellow remains committed to attracting, developing and retaining women in the transportation industry. Through its Women’s Leadership Development Program, the company engages women across the organization by building a network of support and inclusion, and providing the tools and training to develop the skills needed for career longevity. Yellow has recently boosted its resources for women by creating a Women’s Inclusion Network, an employee resource group designed to foster relationships, enhance the employee experience, support women behind the wheel and develop a strong pool of future leaders.
