Federal Express Corporation has announced the appointment of Sandeep Shahi as Vice President of Information Technology in Asia Pacific operations. Shahi, with an impressive background in the digital transformation and technology sectors, is set to steer the company's technological advancements in the region.

Shahi began his remarkable career in Germany with SAP AG before transitioning to the logistics industry. His expertise in digital transformation and digital solution integration has been pivotal in modernising IT architectures. This experience is expected to be invaluable as he takes the helm of FedEx's technology operations in Asia Pacific.

FedEx's business strategy in the Asia Pacific region hinges significantly on innovation, aiming to blend the physical and digital realms. The company's approach focuses on enhancing supply chains through the deployment of technology to improve service experiences, automate processes, and boost overall efficiency for customers.
