Summary
GXO Logistics filled its chief accounting officer position with Christina Carvalho, a CPA with accounting leadership experience at Amer Sports, Booking Holdings, Blue Buffalo, and Carter's. She replaces Laura Bracken, who served as interim CAO and will return to her role as VP Controller for Americas and Asia Pacific. The compensation package is standard for a public company CAO role: $475K base salary, 75% target bonus, a $1M sign-on equity award to replace forfeited compensation from her prior employer, and participation in the executive long-term incentive program with a guaranteed $400K minimum for 2027.
The sign-on RSU vests over two years and will be sized based on GXO's stock price on her September 14 start date. This is a routine executive appointment filling a permanent role after an interim period. The compensation structure aligns with market practice for senior finance roles at logistics companies of GXO's scale.
