The Postal Service has named Linda Malone as applied engineering vice president, a role she has held on an acting basis since June.
Malone succeeds Gary Reblin, who was recently named chief technology officer.
In her new role, Malone oversees the strategy, design, implementation and activation of next-generation technologies and sortation equipment to transform mail processing and retail and delivery networks.
She also oversees the development and enhancement of the Postal Service’s products and services to increase revenue and improve the customer experience.
Most recently, Malone served as engineering systems vice president, where she was responsible for the strategic planning of technology initiatives including the acquisition, development, deployment, testing and integration of new technology and software to support mail processing, material handling and delivery operations.
She also previously served as the network operations vice president and vice president for the former Capital Metro Area.
Malone joined the Postal Service in 1985 as a letter carrier in Wilmington, DE.
