March is Women’s History Month and a time to reflect on the bold, brilliant, and resilient women who have shaped industries, broken down barriers, and led with vision and purpose. Women have long been at the wheel in final mile logistics, navigating challenges, building businesses, transforming how deliveries are made and customers are served.
At CLDA, we are proud to recognize and celebrate the women shaping the future of our industry through leadership, innovation, and education. This year, Women’s History Month carries special significance for CLDA as we mark a milestone in our own leadership.
A Historic First for CLDA Leadership
We are honored to celebrate Lorena Camargo, Founder and CEO of PearlTrans Logistics, who will become the first Latina woman to lead CLDA when she assumes the presidency in 2026. A dynamic entrepreneur and industry trailblazer, Lorena deeply understands what it takes to grow a business in final mile delivery, advocates for industry growth, and leads with intention.
She is joined on the CLDA Board of Directors by two other outstanding women leaders: Ruth Correa, Owner and CEO of Cheetah Final Mile, and Roslyn Ellerbee, Founder and CEO of Express Errands and Courier. Together, these women are respected voices in logistics, each bringing expertise, insight, and a passion for mentorship to our association.
Behind the scenes, CLDA’s day-to-day operations are managed by an all-female staff team. They keep our events, communications, membership services, and advocacy initiatives running smoothly. This collective leadership at the board and staff level show that women are not just participating in final mile logistics but they are helping to shape the future.
Women in Final Mile: Driving Change and Innovation
From dispatch to delivery, operations to ownership, women are driving impact across the entire supply chain. Whether navigating the complex world of route optimization, running high-performing teams, or launching tech-enabled delivery services, women in final mile logistics are problem-solvers, innovators, and leaders.
While the logistics industry has historically been male-dominated, women continue to rise as business owners, executives, drivers, logistics coordinators, and supply chain strategists. Their contributions are expanding representation and transforming how the industry serves customers and adapts to change.
At CLDA, we believe that diverse leadership makes our industry stronger with women bringing fresh perspectives, operational excellence, and an unwavering commitment to our community. We aim to amplify their voices and create more opportunities for growth.
Building a More Inclusive Future
CLDA’s most recent data shows that the final mile industry remains approximately 76% male. This reflects the composition of the transportation and logistics industry but we see growing momentum and as an association, we’re committed to:
Celebrating the Women of CLDA and Beyond
This Women’s History Month, we celebrate the trailblazers who paved the way, the leaders moving the industry forward, and the rising stars who represent the future. From our board appointments to women-led courier businesses and the thousands of women working behind the scenes in final mile operations, your contributions are seen, valued, and celebrated.
We encourage our members to take this moment to recognize the women within your organizations, tell their stories, and lift up the next generation of leaders. The future is full of possibilities, and women like these are paving the way.
Here’s to the women delivering results, transforming businesses, and redefining leadership in final mile logistics today and in the future.
