LAWRENCEVILLE, N.J. — Robert W. Carpenter (right), a senior executive for Aramark International, has been elected chief executive officer of GS1 US here by its board, and will assume the position May 10.
Miguel Lopera, who has been serving as the CEO of GS1 US since 2005 while also serving as CEO of Brussels-based GS1, will dedicate himself to the latter position.
“I can now focus full-time on fulfilling our vision for GS1, and I look forward to working with Bob as he leads the U.S. organization,” said Lopera, in a statement.
The top day-to-day executive position at GS1 US had been held by Chief Operating Officer Charles “Chip” Lloyd, who left the organization last summer.
Carpenter was senior vice president of business and strategic development for Aramark International, a division of Aramark Corp., and before that president of Aramark Healthcare. GS1 US is one of 108 country-based affiliates of GS1, all of which help businesses adopt supply chain standards such as bar codes.
