Spotlight on You
Ramona Hood of FedEx was featured by Commercial Appeal for her history-making promotion to president and CEO of FedEx Custom Critical as the first African American woman to lead a FedEx operating company. “That is something we can be really, really proud of,” said Shannon Brown, FedEx Express chief diversity officer and senior vice president of Eastern Division U.S. operations. Hood started as a receptionist for Roberts Express, which later became FedEx Custom Critical, which became a long-term pursuit of leadership that has culminated in her latest promotion.
Joanna Geraghty, president and COO of JetBlue Airways, was featured in The Points Guy for her efforts to celebrate how far the aviation has come on gender parity and how she has set an example for future generations of women in aviation. “This industry is obviously very challenged because you don’t have a lot of senior women at higher levels within the industry,” said Geraghty. “It starts from the bottom up. It starts from children. It starts at all levels of the organization to create a path for women and create a safe place for women and other candidates where they feel comfortable to express their opinions because there’s somebody that’s similar to you in a room.”
Crystal Barnes has been named senior vice president, corporate social responsibility, environmental, social, and governance (ESG) strategy & reporting at ViacomCBS.
