FedEx Express has appointed Kawal Preet as the new president of Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa (AMEA) region.
Preet, previously senior vice president of operations, North and South Pacific regions, will take up the role on June 1, 2020.
She succeeds Karen Reddington, who served as president of Asia Pacific region since January 2015. Reddington will be the regional president of Europe and chief executive of TNT.
In her new role, Preet will lead the overall planning and implementation of corporate strategies and operations and will manage nearly 40,000 team members across 103 markets and territories that make up the AMEA region, accounting for nearly half of the destinations FedEx Express serves.
Don Colleran, president and CEO of FedEx Express, said: “Kawal is an industry veteran and brings a wealth of experience working at FedEx. She has proven to be a strong leader repeatedly over the years and has helped take Asia Pacific operations to new heights.”
Preet joined FedEx Express in 1997 as an associate engineer in Singapore and saw a steady series of promotions and roles spanning service quality assurance, ground operations, and planning and engineering for the air and ground network.
