As we’ve all learned much too intimately, there are few things that have the power to impact global ecosystems as profoundly as a pandemic. In a matter of months, the coronavirus touched nearly every country and person in the world, upending life as we know it and paving the way for long-term changes we can only begin to predict.

Ultimately, the effects of the coronavirus have transcended industry, country and our way of life. Our global communities have been dealing with its fallout for nearly a year, including increased stress on health care systems, schools and workplaces, to a profound shift in the purchase and consumption of goods and services. In my role at FedEx, I’ve witnessed first-hand how interconnected our world is. And just like the rest of society, the pandemic has challenged me and our company in brand new ways.
