FedEx had previously announced that John Smith will become president and CEO of FedEx Freight and R. Brad Martin will serve as chairman of the board upon completion of a planned spin-off that will make FedEx Freight an independent company. Witt’s appointment completes the executive leadership team for this transition.

Other members of the leadership team include Mike Rodgers as chief technology officer; Eddie Klank as chief human resources and legal officer; Mike Lyons as chief specialized services and commercial officer; and Clint McCoy as chief operating officer.

“I am thrilled to work with this talented group of individuals to grow FedEx Freight as an independent business and lead the company into this exciting new chapter,” said Witt. “I look forward to working closely with John and the broader leadership team to realize the value-creation opportunity the spin-off presents for stockholders.”

FedEx Corp., which provides transportation, e-commerce, and business services globally, reported annual revenue of $89 billion. The company employs more than 500,000 people worldwide.

The press release also included a cautionary statement regarding forward-looking information related to the planned separation of FedEx Freight into a new publicly traded company. It noted that actual results may differ due to various risks or uncertainties detailed in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
