FedEx names leadership team for standalone cargo unit
FedEx has named John A. Smith (photo) as CEO and R. Brad Martin as chairman of its future standalone company FedEx Freight, set to be spun off by June next year.
The move reflects FedEx’s strategy to sharpen its operational focus and unlock business-specific value in the LTL sector. Smith brings over 30 years of freight experience, while Martin led the strategic review driving the separation.
The independent entity will allow for greater agility, commercial expansion and a clearer position in a competitive US trucking market. With Tom Connolly also leading LTL sales, FedEx is aligning leadership to compete more flexibly and transparently in freight logistics. (ah)
