Jamere Jackson to move from AutoZone to FedEx

AutoZone has announced that Chief Financial Officer Jamere Jackson has resigned, with his departure effective November 25, 2026. The company stated that Jackson will leave his role at the auto parts retailer to become Chief Financial Officer of FedEx Corporation after that date.

Jackson’s exit concludes a six‑year tenure as AutoZone’s CFO. During this period, he was described by AutoZone Chief Executive Officer Phil Daniele as having played a key role in shaping strategies that contributed to record sales and profit performance for the company.

To manage the transition, AutoZone has begun an external search for a new chief financial officer. The company indicated that its existing finance and accounting team will provide continuity while the search is underway and through the handover period.

FedEx has named Jamere Jackson as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, with the appointment taking effect on November 30, 2026. His move to FedEx follows his final day at AutoZone on November 25, aligning the two transitions within the same week.

At FedEx, Jackson will succeed Claude Russ, who has been serving as interim Chief Financial Officer since June 1. Russ assumed the interim role after the resignation of John Dietrich from the CFO position, which followed the spin‑off of FedEx Freight into a publicly listed company.

Jackson’s appointment places a seasoned finance executive with recent experience overseeing record results at AutoZone into a permanent finance leadership role at FedEx. The change also ends an interim period in FedEx’s finance organization while starting a new search phase for AutoZone’s next finance chief.
