Um so your rise at FedEx is really inspiring.
There's not many people, although there are a few Fortune five hundred CEOs that this is the case for, that started as you described, like the lowest person on the totem pole at FedEx, your first job really um that you had.
And now you're the CEO.
That's the kind of mobility that I think people hope for when they join a f um American corporation, but you've actually done it.
Uh at what point well first off, could you just tell me how you got to FedEx in the first place?
You and I are fellow Syracuse grads and I know you're from India.
Um but why FedEx?
How did you get here?
Interesting.
And at what point in the career path did you think, whoa, actually maybe the C suite could be something I could aspire to and I want to be on that path?
Um and so at what point did you realize there was an arrow in the FedEx logo?
Yeah.
I it's not surprising it's I guess to hear that the founder of course is a person who recognized it.
And the only reason I know about it is because I was an advertising major and it was like a logo we studied in class and I was like, Wow, look at that.
Now I can never look at a FedEx track the same again.
So you know, when you're at a company for as long as you've been here at FedEx, um, I I feel like y you definitely can drink the Kool-Aid and you c become card part of the culture, but when it's your turn to lead
How do you keep the ideas fresh and how do you know where to take the company once it's finally your turn in the seat?
Um and how did you work that out with Fred?
It sounds like he gave you a great leg up by saying, Look, this is your company now and I'll be here to support you, but they're your decisions.
That's such a great thing for him to do.
