Today was a pretty special day. Not only did I have the opportunity to work on the earnings communications team, but I was invited to assist in a pretty cool photoshoot. Fred Smith, chairman of FedEx, was being photo’d for an upcoming issue in a top-tier publication.
I was on photographer watch and helped setup the room, plan the photo session and haul a huge Boeing 777 model airplane up an elevator for the shoot. After some discussion of the upcoming Washington Redskins schedule and a couple of clicks, the shoot was over.
Very cool day. Earnings went well. The FedEx Newsroom continued to perform well. All is well.
-UPDATE-
The Fortune article this post was about has been posted here: http://money.cnn.com/2008/10/03/magazines/fortune/fedex_okeefe.fortune/index.htm
Yes, it was that plane in the photo I was standing behind for Mr. Smith.
