Fred Smith, founder and CEO of FedEx, changed the way global business functions, and it started with a simple, “What if…?”
While an undergraduate in 1965, Smith thought, “What if there was an airline dedicated to express cargo?” He wrote a paper for an Economics class that described a shipping service that used a hub and spoke system to speed packages to their ultimate destination. Upon returning from Vietnam, he launched FedEx in 1971 and would soon revolutionize global business practices.
