AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · Ryder (R)

Ryder adds Tammy Romo to board as director Abbie Smith plans to retire

Neutral Impact 2 of 5 leadership Written later

Ryder System director Abbie Smith informed the board on December 18, 2025 that she will retire and not stand for reelection at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, and the filing says her retirement is not due to any disagreement with the company. The board appointed Tammy Romo, a former Southwest Airlines CFO, as a director effective January 5, 2026, and she will serve on the Audit and Finance Committees, which is a board change rather than a financial disclosure.

Key points

  • Abbie Smith will retire and not stand for reelection at the 2026 Annual Meeting; the filing states no disagreement with the company.
  • Tammy Romo, 63, joins the board effective January 5, 2026, and is expected to stand for election at the Annual Meeting.
  • Romo retired as executive vice president and CFO of Southwest Airlines on April 1, 2025, and has been an independent director of Tenet Healthcare since 2015.
  • Romo will serve on the Audit and Finance Committees and receive standard non-employee director compensation; the filing contains no financial results.
