Former Waste Administration CEO and present FedEx board member David Steiner has been chosen to be the nation’s 76th Postmaster Common and CEO by the U.S. Postal Service Board of Governors.
“It’s an unimaginable honor to be requested to guide the world’s best postal group, with a historical past that stretches again earlier than the founding of the US,” Steiner stated in a statement.
Steiner was president and CEO of Waste Administration for 12 years, from 2004 via late 2016. CNBC reports that Steiner will depart the board of FedEx (he is been there since 2009). He begins in his new position in July.
“I deeply admire the general public service and enterprise mission of this superb establishment, and I imagine strongly in sustaining its position as an unbiased institution of the manager department,” Steiner stated. “I look ahead to partaking with its workers, who present such an vital service to all our communities.”
Steiner earned a Bachelor of Science diploma in accounting from Louisiana State College and a Juris Physician diploma from the College of California, Los Angeles, in response to the assertion.
Amber McReynolds, chair of the Postal Service Board of Governors, stated within the assertion that Steiner “is the precise individual to guide the Postal Service presently” because the historic group heads into the longer term with ongoing funds challenges (in 2024, USPS reported a web loss of greater than $9 billion).
