The CEO of numerous companies, a multi-millionaire, an incredible shareholder…just who exactly is Russell Stokes?
Who Is Russell Stokes?
Graduating with a degree in finance from Cleveland State University, Russell Stokes has more than 23 years of GE experience. That includes the seven years he spent at GE Aviation as the Sourcing General Manager. In 2013 Stokes also became the President and CEO of GE Transportation, which includes the rail mining and marine industries. Since June 2017, Stokes has been the President and CEO of Commercial Engines and Services at GE.
Stokes is a member of the Metro Atlanta Chamber of Commerce Executive Committee, the Atlanta Committee for Progress, 3DE by Junior Achievement, and a Board Trustee of the Morehouse School of Medicine. I think it’s safe to say that Russell Stokes is an enthusiastic member of the Atlanta community.
I’m not sure when this man sleeps to be honest. In 2020 Russell Stokes joined the UPS Board of Directors, and is a current member of the Compensation Human capital Committee, and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. It’s not all about transportation though, as of 2024 Stokes is also the new CEO of Casper’s Ice Cream.
As of October 2024, Russell Stokes has an estimated net worth of $22 million. About $52,000 of that can be thanks in part to Stokes owning about 400 shares of UPS stock.
