FedEx Corporation has announced that William Logue will retire as President and CEO of its FedEx Freight subsidiary on 31 December 2014.
He has guided FedEx Freight since 2010 to a leading position in the US Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) market. He cited health concerns as the reason for his decision to retire.
Michael Ducker, a 40-year FedEx veteran, will succeed Logue as President and CEO of FedEx Freight. Ducker will move into his new role on 1 January 2015 from his current position as Chief Operating Officer of FedEx Express. He has led the build out of the FedEx Express global air-ground network, and the growth of its international business.
Frederick W Smith, Chairman and CEO of FedEx, said: “Bill Logue has led FedEx Freight to significant growth, success and a leading position in the LTL industry. He navigated some of the worst economic conditions the industry has ever seen and delivered outstanding results while positioning FedEx Freight for long-term success.
“He has established himself as an all-time great leader during his 25 years at FedEx, and while we are sorry to see Bill retire, he has our gratitude, support and best wishes.”
