FedEx Freight Expands Chief Technology Officer Role Following Executive Departure
FedEx Freight has expanded the role of Mike Rodgers, its chief technology officer (CTO), to include responsibilities for commercial strategy and customer experience. This change follows the recent termination of former chief specialized services and commercial officer Mike Lyons. Rodgers will now serve as chief commercial and technology officer while continuing in his CTO duties. Rodgers has over 30 years of digital strategy expertise, including leading tech initiatives at Pilot Company from 2015 to 2024. He played a key role during FedEx Freight's IT separation from parent company FedEx (FDX) and the development of an LTL-specific freight pricing platform. The leadership shift reflects a strategic move by North America’s largest less-than-truckload carrier to align digital innovation with commercial operations, aiming to strengthen customer relationships and competitive positioning in the logistics sector.
