FedEx: Innovating with Data and AI to Deliver What's Next

Notes:

        
- Raj: You have been at FedEx for more than 30 years. You started out as a chemical engineer. It took you six years to figure out that you didn't want to be an engineer. Now you're the second CEO at FedEx. You have 48 more years on the job.

- Mark: How do we use AI, ML and maybe even GPT to provide value for our customers. There's obviously a clear opportunity to improve the productivity in the organization. Having the data in the right place and engineered is a critical thing.

- FedEx is trying to make supply chain smarter for everyone. Technology is a key piece of it. We move 15 million packages every single day. Petabytes of data. Tomorrow's information is different than yesterday's and today. So we are very dynamic.

- The FedEx team and the FedEx culture is paramount. Anything that we're doing on the digital front doesn't exist without the physical. And we are very excited, ah, about where this is heading.

- FedEx has become a digital first company. The first part of it is to make our supply chain smarter. It took a few leaders in the organization to fully adopt. Not fully there yet, but adoption is important.

- Raj Subramani: It's too early to talk about legacy because you have decades ahead of you. But anything you think about the kind of company you want to build, which. For me is to get to a place where we then set the stage for the next 50 years. Not one or the other, but both.
