Frederick W. Smith, fundador y presidente ejecutivo de FedEx, falleci\u00f3 a los 81 a\u00f1os.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>La noticia fue comunicada el 21 de junio por el actual CEO de la compa\u00f1\u00eda, Raj Subramaniam, en una carta dirigida al equipo global de empleados.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ciertamente, Smith fue mucho m\u00e1s que un empresario exitoso. Fue un innovador que transform\u00f3 el transporte de mercanc\u00edas al desarrollar un modelo log\u00edstico revolucionario. Su idea, nacida en un trabajo universitario en Yale, propon\u00eda una red basada en un sistema <strong>hub-and-spoke<\/strong>: un punto central para procesar y redistribuir paquetes de forma r\u00e1pida y eficiente durante la noche. Lo que en su momento fue una visi\u00f3n disruptiva, se convirti\u00f3 en el est\u00e1ndar de la industria global de carga expr\u00e9s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Concepto<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Ese concepto se materializ\u00f3 en 1973, cuando lanz\u00f3 Federal Express desde Memphis, Tennessee. La operaci\u00f3n inicial fue modesta: 14 peque\u00f1os aviones Dassault Falcon 20 adaptados para carga, 389 empleados y solo 186 paquetes entregados en su primera noche de funcionamiento a 25 ciudades de EE.UU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adem\u00e1s, con el tiempo, FedEx se convirti\u00f3 en un gigante de la log\u00edstica. Hoy la empresa opera una flota de 705 aeronaves, cuenta con m\u00e1s de 200.000 veh\u00edculos, casi 5.000 instalaciones y m\u00e1s de 500.000 empleados en todo el mundo. Procesa cerca de 17 millones de env\u00edos diarios y es un actor clave en la econom\u00eda global.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Smith, veterano del Cuerpo de Marines con servicio en Vietnam, dej\u00f3 el cargo de CEO en 2022, aunque permaneci\u00f3 como presidente ejecutivo. Desde all\u00ed, segu\u00eda influyendo en la direcci\u00f3n estrat\u00e9gica de FedEx, con foco en sostenibilidad, innovaci\u00f3n y pol\u00edticas p\u00fablicas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFue un mentor para muchos y una fuente de inspiraci\u00f3n para todos\u201d, escribi\u00f3 Subramaniam. Su legado seguir\u00e1 marcando el rumbo de la log\u00edstica moderna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>TodologisticaNEWS: Las principales noticias sobre puertos, log\u00edstica, transporte y comercio exterior<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"El mundo de la log\u00edstica despide a uno de sus grandes pioneros.
