“The board nominated Mr. Swoboda as director for his impressive leadership experience,” says Ryder Chairman and CEO Robert Sanchez. “Chuck’s experience as an innovator and proven track record of bringing innovative and relevant technologies to market, along with his financial acumen, business management, and experience in serving on both private and publicly traded boards are skills that complement the other skills represented on our board.”

Mr. Swoboda most recently served as chairman, president, and chief executive officer of Cree, Inc. (now known as Wolfspeed, Inc. (NYSE: WOLF)), a global leader in silicon carbide technology and production. Over his 16-year tenure as CEO (2001-2017), he led the company from $177 million in revenues to more than $1.6 billion. During this time, Cree transformed from a start-up into a global market leader with more than 6,000 employees. Under Mr. Swoboda’s leadership, the company was recognized as MIT Technology Review’s “50 Smartest Companies” for 2014 and as one of Fast Company’s “World’s 50 Most Innovative Companies” in 2015.

After retiring in 2017, Mr. Swoboda joined the board of Anixter International in May 2019, serving on its compensation committee and nominating and governance committee. He served on this board until the company was sold to WESCO International (NYSE: WCC) in 2020.

The Ryder board is also increasing the size of the board to twelve members to accommodate the appointment.
