Parrott and Jackson lead Ports of Indiana during CEO transition

The agency says Peacock’s CEO service ended Nov. 1; its announcement gives no reason for the change.

Ports of Indiana said Jody Peacock’s service as chief executive ended Nov. 1 and that Chief Operating Officer Dave Parrott and Chief Financial Officer Erica Jackson began serving as its interim leadership team that day.

Commission Chairman Steven Stemler is working with the pair during the interim period, according to the authority’s Nov. 2 announcement.

The release does not state why Peacock’s CEO service ended or characterize the change as a resignation, retirement or dismissal. It describes an interim team and gives no timetable for naming a permanent chief executive.

Peacock joined Ports of Indiana in 2001, according to the authority’s February 2023 appointment announcement. That release says the commission approved his promotion to CEO on Feb. 13, 2023, after he had served as senior vice president for business development.
