Lance Moll, President of FedEx Freight, announced his retirement after a 33-year career with the company, effective January 31, 2025. He will transition into an executive advisor role until July 31 to ensure a seamless leadership change. John Smith, Chief Operating Officer of U.S. & Canada surface operations, will oversee the FedEx Freight team until a new CEO is named. Smith previously served as CEO of FedEx Freight for three years, bringing prior experience to the interim leadership role. This leadership transition occurs as FedEx continues to progress with the planned full separation of FedEx Freight into an independent public company, which remains on track to be executed within 18 months. The company emphasizes that the separation management office will maintain rigor and accountability during this period.
