Dietrich became CFO in August 2023, having previously led Atlas Air. During his time at FedEx, he was instrumental in executing a major cost-cutting program and a network consolidation plan. These efforts contributed to a period of sustained profit improvement for the company. The firm’s share price increased by 38% while he served as finance chief.

FedEx President and CEO Raj Subramaniam acknowledged Dietrich’s role in the company’s transformation and the Freight spin-off process. Subramaniam also expressed confidence in the interim leadership’s ability to maintain continuity. An executive search for a permanent successor is now underway.

The interim financial leadership will be assumed by an executive who currently oversees global financial planning and analysis. This individual also manages finance-related initiatives within a company-wide efficiency campaign and has held multiple senior roles over a 24-year career at FedEx, including positions at FedEx Dataworks, FedEx Services, and FedEx Freight.

Separately, FedEx recently updated its financial outlook, anticipating higher revenue growth and increased adjusted earnings per share for its 2026 fiscal year.
