Rajesh Subramaniam is the President and CEO of FedEx Corporation, where he has worked for over 30 years. He's seen it all in the logistics world, from marketing to operations. Before becoming CEO in June 2022, he held significant roles that shaped FedEx's strategy, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region and Canada. This gives him a big-picture view of the company's operations. He led FedEx's marketing and digital efforts, focusing on brand strategy and transformation. Under his leadership, FedEx has continued to adapt to global challenges while aiming for better efficiency and customer service. In 2023, Subramaniam's total compensation hit $12.4 million, which included a base salary of $1.45 million and substantial stock options, aligning his interests with the company's performance. Interestingly, even when the company faced hurdles, he didn't get a bonus that year, reflecting the serious performance-based approach at FedEx. He also serves on the board of First Horizon National Corporation, adding to his understanding of finance and operations. Subramaniam's educational background includes a Bachelor’s in Economics from the University of Madras and an MBA from the University of Texas at Austin, which laid the foundation for his career in business and strategy.
