[ January 3, 2025 // Gary G Burrows ]Savage, the Salt Lake City-based of supply chain infrastructure and solutions provider, has only the fourth CEO in its 80-year history.
Jeff Roberts took the reins Jan. 1, following the retirement of his predecessor, Kirk Aubry. Savage presented its CEO succession plan in June 2024, when Roberts was promoted to president in addition to his role as chief operating officer and a member of the company’s board of directors.

Prior to his time at Maxum, Roberts served in numerous financial roles within the Pilot Flying J organization, including divisional CFO.
“I’m honored to have the opportunity to lead such an amazing group of people, working together to provide world-class service for customers across all of our businesses,” Roberts said. “We’ll continue building relationships and growing the company according to the vision and legacy established by our founders.”
Savage has more than 4,000 team members in about 200 locations across the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Saudi Arabia.
