FedEx Corp. said it appointed a chief executive and board chairman for its new less-than-truckload spinoff FedEx Freight.
The transportation and e-commerce company said Monday that FedEx Freight's chief executive would be John Smith, who has been serving as chief operating officer of U.S. and Canada Federal Express. The spinoff's board chairman is set to be R. Brad Martin, who has been working as vice chairman of the FedEx Corp. board of directors.
Both appointments will be effective once the spinoff is complete, FedEx said. The separation is expected to happen in June 2026.
Smith will continue in his current role until the separation. He has been a member of the FedEx Freight team for 25 years and served as chief executive of FedEx Freight from 2018 to 2021.
Martin is expected to remain on the FedEx Corp. board while also serving as FedEx Freight chair.
