effective January 7, 2015.
Mr. Kibby is the former President of McGraw-Hill Higher Education, a leading innovator in the

opportunity and collaboratively rally teams around a vision to create competitive advantage and
success,” said Board Chair Hicks. “We are very excited about what Brian will bring to MV and look
forward to a renewed focus and energy within the organization.”
As MV prepares to celebrate its 40th anniversary, company founder Alex Lodde, who has served as
interim CEO for the past four months, said it was important to the Board that the new CEO has a vision
consistent with the Board’s belief that MV’s employees and clients are the company’s most important
resources.
“I am confident in Brian’s ability to lead MV into the next chapter of our growing business,” Lodde said.
“Brian is great at directly connecting with people from various backgrounds, a quality that not only
builds trust, but gains respect from those around him. I personally look forward to working closely with
him.”
Listed as one of 10 “CEO Ready Leaders” in a 2013 Forbes Magazine article, Mr. Kibby says he is excited
to join MV during this milestone year. "MV is truly one of the great American entrepreneurial success
stories. What the Loddes and the MV team have accomplished is spectacular,” he said. “Through
dedication and hard work, MV has grown from humble beginnings into the largest privately held
transportation company in the United States. It is an honor to be a part of this great company and to
lead it into the next forty years."
Mr. Kibby is a proud military veteran, having served in the US Army, and holds a Bachelors of Science
degree in Finance from Western Illinois University. Mr. Kibby, along with his wife Beth, and their four
children will relocate to Dallas this summer.
