Raj Subramaniam, an Indian-born President and Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Board of Directors of FedEx Corporation, will be honored at the 2023 Outstanding 50 Asian Americans in Business black-tie dinner gala, which is marking its 22nd year of recognizing excellence in corporate professionals and entrepreneurs.
Subramaniam will be receiving the 2023 Pinnacle Award — the highest honor in Business Award, instituted by the Asian American Business Development Center (AABDC) at Cipriani Wall Street on September 21.
“Our Outstanding 50 Business Committee carefully considers whom to add to our roster of distinguished Pinnacle Award winners, who serve to inspire the Asian American professional community as living role models and examples of excellence in leadership,” said John Wang, President and Founder of AABDC.
“Raj Subramaniam of FedEx certainly meets and exceeds our criteria, and he has earned our admiration and appreciation for helming one of the most critical segments of the economy — the logistics and supply chains that keep our lives and businesses humming,” Wang added.
The Pinnacle Award is presented to those who have reached the acme of their professional career and is widely acknowledged as a leader in their industry.
Subramaniam immigrated to America in 1987 to attend Syracuse University, where he earned a master’s degree in chemical engineering. In 1991, he graduated from The University of Texas at Austin with a master’s in business administration and joined FedEx as an associate analyst later that year.
With more than 30 years of industry experience at FedEx, Subramaniam’s international leadership experience, keen business insights, and focus on globalization have contributed to the success of FedEx and provided a blueprint as the company revolutionizes the transportation and logistics industry, as per the release.
