Jan. 1, Tim Dorsey assumed the role of president of ECHO, a subsidiary of Yamabiko Corp. of Japan, making Dorsey the second American to hold the position in the company. He replaces retiree Dan Obringer.
Dorsey has worked at ECHO, which is based in Chicago, for 18 years in various capacities, including the last seven years as vice president of systems and logistics.
“The transition in leadership to Tim will be seamless,” Obringer said. “We have a great executive team and Tim has been a key member for the last seven years. Our business has grown tremendously, and I expect this momentum to continue and ECHO to grow and prosper under Tim’s leadership.”
Obringer, who served as president for the past five years, will remain in an advisory capacity for the next year.
Dorsey is a graduate of DePaul University.
