iGPS Names Former Brambles CEO to Board of Directors

Intelligent Global Pooling Systems (iGPS), operator of the world’s first all-plastic pallet rental service with embedded RFID (radio frequency identification) tags, announced that John Fletcher, former Brambles Ltd. CEO, has joined the company’s board of directors.

Fletcher will provide both strategic counsel and operational guidance to the company at a time of tremendous growth as the supply chain transitions from wood pallets to iGPS’ plastic pallet.

Fletcher, a seasoned executive with experience leading global operations, possesses deep knowledge of the pallet industry. During a 27-year period, Fletcher held key positions at Australia-based Brambles Ltd., parent company of CHEP, the wood pallet pool operator, including chief executive officer for more than eight years. Fletcher also was a non-executive member of the board of directors of Telstra, Australia’s largest telecommunications and media company. Most recently he served for six years as chief executive of Coles Group Ltd., the Australian retail giant, before retiring in November 2007.
