Lance Moll, president of FedEx Freight, to retire
FedEx Corporation has today announced that Lance Moll, president of FedEx Freight, will retire after a distinguished 33-year career with the company. He will serve in his current role until January 31 and then move into an executive advisor position until July 31 to ensure a seamless transition.
Moll joined FedEx in 1992 as a dock worker and served in a variety of field operations leadership positions as the company expanded its network over the years. In 2018, he was promoted to senior vice president of Operations. While in this role, he led the North American operations and linehaul network teams to successfully navigate through the pandemic and challenging economic times, while ensuring employee safety and customer service remained as the highest priorities. In 2021, Moll was elevated to his current position. Under his leadership, the Freight team achieved record safety results, profitability, and operating margin.
“Lance has been a key member of the FedEx Freight leadership team during his more than three-decade tenure,” said John Smith, chief operating officer of U.S. & Canada surface operations. “He is a clear expert on the industry and a true champion of the things that have brought FedEx Freight so much success in recent years: safety above all, communication drives progress, and innovation is key to differentiation. I am deeply grateful for his service and leadership and wish him the best in his well-deserved retirement.”
With Moll’s departure, the FedEx Freight team will continue to report through Smith until a new CEO is named. Smith, who previously served as the CEO of FedEx Freight for three years, will work closely with the Separation Management Office overseeing the separation of FedEx and FedEx Freight into two industry-leading public companies. The separation remains on track to be executed within 18 months.
