Jacque Bendon, Union Pacific’s senior vice president, Marketing and Sales, has broken through the proverbial glass ceiling in an industry where only 15% of the transportation workforce are women.
Leading UP’s Industrial business, Bendon oversees a team responsible for $8 billion in annual revenue. At the same time, she’s engaged in her community, serving on multiple boards and making time to mentor fellow employees.
Recognizing her achievements, Profiles in Diversity Journal named Bendon to its list of 2023 Women Worth Watching in Leadership.
