Long-term FedEx veteran Sean Healey is to be regional chief operating officer for FedEx Express Europe. He is to take over from Michael Holt who is to retire at the end of this month.

Healey’s previous role was senior VP of transport, International, planning and strategy at FedEx Freight. He joined the firm in 1986 as a package handler while at college and rose through the ranks to become the VP of global planning and engineering.

“Sean has more than 30 years’ industry experience and has been at the forefront of operational innovation and service excellence for customers within the FedEx family. His additional experience leading teams through change means he is an excellent addition to the FedEx Express Europe leadership team at an exciting time for the company,” said Bert Nappier, president FedEx Express Europe and CEO of TNT.

“I would like to thank Michael Holt for the invaluable contribution he has made to our company, especially the vital work he has done since the TNT acquisition in 2016, and wish him well in his retirement.”
