I am immensely grateful to Rob for his numerous contributions in establishing FedEx as an innovative, data-driven, and people-focused company and wish him all the best in his well-deserved retirement.”

In this role, Krishnasamy will lead the FedEx IT and FedEx Dataworks teams to unleash the power of FedEx intelligence to further serve FedEx global operations and customers. Given the critical role of technology, systems, and data insights in supporting key DRIVE efforts, he will also retain his role as EVP and chief transformation officer.

Since joining FedEx in 1997, Krishnasamy has worked at multiple FedEx operating companies and held leadership positions around the globe.
