FedEx Freight, an LTL segment slated for a spinoff next year, is filling out its C-suite.
The business detailed longtime FedEx leaders who will take over oversight of the new company and also announced an outsider as part of the mix, according to FedEx CEO and President Raj Subramaniam in an earnings call this week and an investor presentation.
Those seasoned staff and their new roles are:
- Eddie Klank as chief human resources and legal officer. Klang has nearly three decades with FedEx, including most recently as corporate VP for corporate governance securities and tax law.
- Mike Lyons as the chief specialized services and commercial officer. He’s been with FedEx for nearly two decades, most recently as SVP of custom critical and freight strategy, per his LinkedIn profile.
- Clint McCoy as chief operating officer. With nearly three decades at the company, his positions have ranged from operations supervisor to SVP of operations support and engineering.
Departing from that internal hiring trend, the business recently hired Michael Rodgers as chief technology officer, the company said. He recently served as CTO for Pilot Flying J and has a background in retail and finance.
As previously announced, former FedEx Freight President and CEO John Smith is returning to the role. He currently leads the LTL business along with U.S. and Canada ground operations for Federal Express.
R. Brad Martin, who became chair of FedEx’s board following the death of Fred Smith on June 21 at age 80, will also serve as chair of the FedEx Freight board.
