Sheila Harrell
Vice President, Customer Service Operations
I serve as Vice President of Customer Service Operations at FedEx and I’m responsible for ensuring high levels of customer satisfaction through the use of the latest customer service and technology. I’m responsible for overseeing 31 call centers in the Americas and Canada and more than 5,500 customer service representatives in my organization.
I recognize the crucial link between employee satisfaction and customer loyalty and I’ve built my leadership style focuses on nurturing the talents of team members by providing the tools and resources they need to achieve personal and professional success. I want the team members in my group to be inspired by their work and feel empowered. If we can achieve this, I firmly believe they will deliver dazzling customer service to customers, who will, in turn, become more loyal.
I joined FedEx in 1979, and have held various management positions in Operations Engineering, Communications and Training and Sales.
