Vijayakumar’s operational area is responsible for optimizing capabilities of the data centers, networks and field service organizations that connect FedEx’s vast web of transportation services.
The keynote remarks will take place at the Cable-Tec Expo Opening General Session on Tuesday morning, Oct. 1 at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center. Following breakfast at 8:15 AM outside of the convention center’s Grand Hall, Vijayakumar and an all-star cast of technology visionaries will articulate their expectations for the future beginning at 9:00 AM.
