For more than 20 years, Erin Mitchell has delivered transformative results at the intersection of operations and technology, with a strong focus on building high-performing, diverse teams. During her tenure at Kraft Heinz, she led multiple large-scale initiatives, including the integration of the Kraft and Heinz supply chains and oversight of North American distribution. Across all her roles, Mitchell has consistently driven business results by developing talent and cultivating strong cross-functional partnerships.

 

Since joining YMX Logistics as Chief Operating Officer in early 2024, Mitchell has brought that same focus to a fast-growing organization redefining yard management through integrated technology and services. In a sector where women remain underrepresented in executive leadership, Mitchell has made inclusion a priority—implementing structured paths for driver training, wage progression, and benefits aimed at supporting women and minority drivers. In the last year alone, more than half of the leadership roles she’s filled have gone to women, including several high-impact positions across operations.

 

Mitchell has a B.S. from Iowa State University, an M.B.A. from the University of Wisconsin, and a Certificate in Digital Transformation from M.I.T.
