Hoopman is an equity research analyst for Glenmede Investment Management LP, an affiliate of The Glenmede Trust Company, focusing on the energy and technology sectors. Bob’s career in logistics began in the mid ’70s when, after college, and a successful service business, he bought an over-the-road tractor as an investment. Starting with one truck, he ended up buying a trucking company (Shives Trucking), and secured a contract with John Deere to deliver all their equipment throughout the state of Illinois. When deregulation came along in 1979, Bob sold this company and joined Power Packaging, where he started a trucking company (Power Transportation) and, later, a brokerage company (Power Brokerage). In 1984, the President of Rollins Truck Leasing asked Bob to start a brokerage company (Rollins Brokerage). He later headed up Rollins’ national truck rental operations. In 1988, the owners of Power Packaging bought a warehouse company (Freeze Point), and asked Bob to come back to Power and help build this company. Starting with just a few employees, they built Freeze Point (later changing to name to Power Logistics) to a nationwide logistics company. In 1995 Power’s board asked Bob to move to Europe to help do the same. His team successfully built one of the largest automated warehouses in Germany for Kraft, and later in England for Birds Eye Walls. (Both Power Logistics and Power Europe were purchased by Exel Logistics in 1999). In 1996, Power’s board asked Bob to move back to the U.S. and run the parent company, Power Packaging. In 1998, he started his own logistics company (Pro Source Group) and was immediately successful, and in 2000 Total Logistic Control (TLC) bought Pro Source, and Bob became TLC’s president. TLC more than tripled in five years. In 2005 SUPERVALU bought TLC, and Bob became the CEO. In 2008, at the age of 58, Bob retired (a goal he set when he started Pro Source in 1998) and, with his wife Debbie, started cruising on their boat full-time on the waterways of the East Coast. After two years and more than 8,000 miles of cruising, they sold the boat, and Bob started BK Partners, Inc. His plan is to use his 35 years of business experience to help other companies enhance their enterprise value. A graduate of United Electronics Institute, Bob attended the University of Louisville, where he majored in business. He has served two terms on the board of directors for the International Association of Refrigerated Warehouses, and on the Government Affairs Committee for the International Warehouse and Logistics Association. Cathy Pulos brings her financial acumen and human resources management experience to the Burris board table from Wawa, Inc., where she serves as vice president and chief people officer for the privately held company that operates more than 750 convenience store/gas stations along the Eastern Seaboard.
