Fedex Cfo John Dietrich to Step Down
Claude Russ, a 24-year FedEx veteran, will serve as interim CFO while the board searches for Dietrich’s successor.
On Monday, FedEx announced that Chief Financial Officer John Dietrich will step down on June 1, following the upcoming spinoff of FedEx Freight into a separate, publicly traded company.
FedEx began the spinoff of its freight trucking division in December 2024 to focus on core delivery operations, with the divestiture expected to be completed by June 2026.
Claude Russ, FedEx enterprise vice president of finance, will serve as interim CFO while the board searches for a successor, bringing 24 years of experience at FedEx.
"I am confident that Claude's wealth of experience will ensure seamless continuity," said Raj Subramaniam, president and chief executive officer of FedEx Corporation, thanking Dietrich for his contributions.
Projecting earnings between $19.30 and $20.10 per share, FedEx reaffirmed its adjusted profit forecast for the fiscal year ending May 31, citing strength in its higher-margin Express segment.
