• FedEx Corp. announced the appointment of Kawal Preet, formerly regional president of the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, to executive vice president (EVP), Planning, Engineering, and Transformation, effective October 1.
• Reporting to FedEx President and CEO Raj Subramaniam, Preet will be the newest member of the FedEx Executive Committee.

Having served as the regional president of APAC since 2020, Preet has led the region to new opportunities while navigating multiple unique and unprecedented circumstances, including those associated with the pandemic and a dynamic global operating environment.
