FedEx Corp. is preparing for a change at the top of its finance organization. The company announced on October 26 that Jamere Jackson will become executive vice president and chief financial officer on November 30. FedEx described the appointment in its newsroom announcement.
Jackson will succeed Claude Russ, who has served as interim CFO since June 1. FedEx said Russ will be thanked for leading the company through the transition. The appointment follows John Dietrich's departure after the spinoff of FedEx Freight, according to the company's announcement.
Finance leadership shifts
Jackson joins FedEx after serving as AutoZone's chief financial officer since January 2021, while also leading finance and store development. Earlier in his career, he was executive vice president and CFO of Hertz Global Holdings and CFO of Nielsen Holdings. He also held finance leadership roles at General Electric and serves on Eli Lilly's board as audit committee chair.
FedEx Chief Executive Raj Subramaniam said Jackson combines disciplined financial management, capital allocation and operational experience. In the company's view, that background should help balance investment in growth with profitability and cash generation. Jackson said he intends to apply his experience as FedEx executes its profitable growth strategy.
