On The Move: Kevin Price

Kevin Price officially began serving as president of the Georgia Ports Authority July 1. Under GPA’s leadership transition plan, Price is scheduled to succeed Griff Lynch as president and CEO August 1, 2027.

Lynch will retire following a 38-year maritime career, including 15 years with the Georgia Ports Authority.

“I’m excited for our employees and all our stakeholders because Kevin is the perfect candidate to take GPA and our team to the next level,” Lynch said.

Price joined GPA after serving as president of Gateway Terminals in Savannah since 2021. He previously served as chief operating officer of Virginia International Terminals and held several other leadership positions in the port terminal industry. He brings more than 30 years of operations experience to the authority.

“I look forward to building on GPA’s incredible momentum and working closely with the GPA team, customers and business partners to keep raising the bar on our performance,” Price said.

GPA Board Chairman Alec Poitevint said Price’s collaborative leadership style, customer focus and understanding of long-term infrastructure investment will help position Georgia Ports for continued growth.

Price has served on numerous industry boards and committees and is a graduate of the Executive Program at the University of Virginia’s Darden School of Business.
