A Meaningful and Fulfilled Trip with FedEx – Innovation, Inspiration, and Champions

On May 30th, Our CEO, Christopher Kuo, was invited to  join an unforgettable journey with FedEx—an experience that blended visionary business leadership, exciting product innovation, and memorable football moments.

Day 1: Business, Innovation, and Legends

The day began with the Champions of Business event at BMW Welt Museum, where FedEx recognized outstanding partners and innovators who are truly making a difference. It was an honour to hear from Wouter Roels, the Regional President of FedEx Europe and Daniel Vines, Senior Vice President of Sales for Europe, and to be in the presence of so many business leaders shaping the future.

We also saw the exciting introduction of FedEx Dataworks. This groundbreaking platform applies AI to unlock more innovative logistics and supply chain optimisation. The innovation behind FedEx Dataworks, as introduced by Tony Kreager, Enterprise Vice President of Data, Digital & Commercial Technology,  signals a bold leap forward in how data can enhance customer experience and operational excellence.
