Polli was promoted to president and CEO in 2018, and the company said she has led the company through a period of significant transformation, including its sale to Stonepeak Infrastructure Partners in 2020. She also is credited with leading the company through the “unprecedented challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic.”

“Jennifer was instrumental in facilitating the sale of Trac and its subsidiaries to Stonepeak, and her leadership was essential in setting Trac on the right course in the current challenging economic and operating environment,” Stonepeak Senior Managing Director Luke Taylor said in a statement.
