FedEx appoints global healthcare leader

FedEx Corp. has tasked an executive with overseeing its global healthcare sales and operations.

Effective 16 July 2024, Nick Gennari has been appointed Senior Vice President of Sales and will also assume leadership responsibilities for FedEx’s healthcare vertical and serve as President – Global Healthcare.

This appointment comes as the company has made significant strides expanding its healthcare portfolio to create innovative solutions that strengthen its support of healthcare customers around the world.

Last month, the company opened its first European Life Sciences Center in the Netherlands. This state-of-the-art cooling facility is the sixth of its kind in the shipping giant’s global network, offering end-to-end supply chain solutions for temperature-sensitive medical storage and transport.

The company is also accelerating the rollout of FedEx Surround, a monitoring and intervention service that leverages extensive FedEx data and machine learning to provide customers enhanced proactive visibility of their critical shipments.

“FedEx is making supply chains smarter for everyone – including pharmaceutical, global clinical trials and medical device shippers,” said FedEx Executive Vice President and Chief Customer Officer, Brie Carere.

“I am confident Nick’s extensive expertise positions FedEx to continue delivering unmatched global services, end-to-end solutions, and scalability to healthcare customers of all sizes.”

Gennari joined FedEx in 1992 as an account executive. Throughout his tenure with the company, he has held numerous sales leadership roles in the US and internationally with a focus across many areas, including healthcare, aerospace, industrial, and high-tech verticals. Most recently, he was responsible for overall sales execution and the long-term strategic direction of Global Sales’ healthcare and commercial teams.

“I am truly excited about what’s next for the FedEx global healthcare portfolio,” said Gennari.

“Today, healthcare customers expect end-to-end solutions, supply chain insights, and quality oversight to support the day-to-day movement of their shipments.

“With recent enhancements, FedEx is exceptionally well positioned to meet and exceed those customer needs.”
