About Reginald Mebane

Since transitioning from senior executive service (SES)leadership in the federal government, I am focused on speaking, writing, consulting and dedicated board governance. I bring four decades of transformational experience where strategic oversight drives organizational excellence. Featured in Pamela Mitchell\'s The 10 Laws of Career Reinvention (Harvard\'s recommended reading), my career has been defined by reinventing organizations and driving sustainable growth. As I step away from day-to-day operational roles, I channel this expertise to guide organizations through their most critical strategic decisions.I\'m a transformational executive leader and director with a unique 43-year career spanning corporate leadership (23 years at FedEx) and federal government service (20 years at the CDC) with Top Secret/SCI clearance. With a track record in operations leadership and P&L management, I\'ve consistently driven profitable growth. This rare combination has enabled me to apply private sector principles to orchestrate meaningful change across complex business and government organizations.CAREER HIGHLIGHTS:FEDEX JOURNEY: Started on the night shift working on the loading docks and rose through the ranks to become Senior VP and COO of FedEx Trade Networks and Brokerage, a $2B division, where I drove critical transformation initiatives that fueled substantial growthTRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP: Recruited to the CDC to create the first national avian flu preparedness program and develop a new distribution model for the nation\'s $4B pediatric vaccine program. Successfully consolidated four disparate national disease centers into a unified CDC organization, achieving $21 million in synergistic cost savings over four years.EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT CHAMPION: Throughout my career, I\'ve prioritized creating high-performance cultures through strategic workforce planning, comprehensive development programs, and data-driven engagement initiativesBOARD GOVERNANCE EXCELLENCE: Served 13 years on the board of Mercy Health System, a $4B healthcare system with 30+ hospitals across seven states, where I chaired the Human Resources CommitteeCURRENT BOARD SERVICE• Family Health Centers of Georgia, Inc. – Vice Chair-Brandeis University Advisory Board• New York Auto Museum• Talent Plus, Inc. – Advisor NetworkSPECIALTIES: Board Leadership | P&L Management | Strategic Planning | Operational Efficiency | Organizational Development | Change Management | Employee Engagement | Crisis Management | Performance Optimization | Succession Planning | Public-Private Partnerships |
