FedEx has announced the ten-member Board of Directors for FedEx Freight, ahead of its planned spin-off from FedEx in June.
Current Executive Chairman of the FedEx Board of Directors, Brad Martin, will serve as Chairman of the FedEx Freight Board.
Incoming President and Chief Executive Officer of FedEx Freight, John Smith, will also serve as a Director alongside eight highly experienced leaders across the transportation and logistics, supply chain management and technology sectors.
“We’ve assembled a group of prominent industry leaders who share a strong commitment to the customer-first culture that defines FedEx,” Martin said.
“Their diverse perspectives and proven leadership will be instrumental in supporting FedEx Freight as it executes a focused strategy and builds on its position as the largest North American LTL freight carrier with industry-leading transit times, service levels and reliability.”
The remaining eight Board members are Jeffrey Davis, Donald Frieson, Stephen Gorman, Robert King, Cindy Miller, Amy Salcido, John Sauerland and Samantha Smith.
“I look forward to working with our incoming directors upon completion of the spin-off, leveraging their experience and perspectives, while continuing to partner with Brad and our leadership team as we progress toward launching a world-class, independent organisation,” Smith said.
