FedEx Express has confirmed that Sean Healy is to become the regional chief operating officer of FedEx Express Europe.
Healy is to take over from Michael Holt, who will retire by the end of this month (September).
Holt is staying on until the end of the month to assist with the transition.
A FedEx veteran, Healy’s new role will involve continuing a process of operational integration, as well as leveraging the company’s networks, people and innovation to “deliver service excellence”.
Healy joined FedEx Express in 1986 as a package handler, and rose through the ranks to become vice president of global planning and engineering.
In his most recent position as senior vice president at FedEx Freight, he led the overall design, development and implementation of technology solutions and processes.
He was also responsible for managing the road network at FedEx Freight, which last year logged over one billion miles.
Healy noted: “FedEx Express Europe is one of the most dynamic places to be within FedEx, not only with the TNT integration, but also as the logistics industry as a whole is undergoing transformation.”
He added that he was looking forward to working with the FedEx Express European team on “delivering our vision for Europe”.
