Daseke Picks Scott Hoppe As New COO
Daseke Inc (NASDAQ: DSKE) said its Executive Vice President (EVP) and Chief Operating Officer (COO) Rick Williams will retire from his current position.
Scott Hoppe, currently President and Chief Executive Officer of E.W. Wylie, a wholly owned subsidiary of Daseke, will succeed Williams, effective June 1, 2023.
As EVP and COO, Hoppe will have responsibility for managing and enhancing Daseke's scale in the specialized and flatbed trucking market and overseeing business transformation.

Wylie, a specialized transportation company based in Fargo, North Dakota, was acquired by Daseke in 2012. Scott joined Wylie in 1999, holding various operational and commercial roles until ultimately being named CEO in 2017.
