US President Joe Biden has announced that he wanted to appoint two Indian-American corporate leaders, Punit Renjen and Rajesh Subramaniam, to the powerful Export Council. The council is the principal national advisory committee on international trade.
Renjen, the former CEO of Deloitte Consulting, and Subramaniam, CEO and President of FedEx, have their names on the list of members the US President intends to appoint as members of the influential President’s Export Council, the White House said.
The council will be headed by Mark Edin, chairman of Kastle Systems. More than two dozen leaders from the corporate sector, labour, real estate, national security, and law have been tapped into the council. Prominent among them are Karen S Lynch, President and CEO of CVS Health; John Lawler, the Chief Financial Officer of Ford; Gareth Joyce, CEO at Proterra; Brett Hart, President of United Airlines; Beth Ford, President and CEO of Land O’Lakes; and Qualcomm CEO Cristiano R Amon.
According to White House, the council advises the President on government policies and programmes that affect US trade performance, promotes export expansion, and provides a forum for discussing and resolving trade-related problems among the business, industrial, agricultural, labour, and government sectors.
Renjen retired as Deloitte Global CEO on December 31 last year. He now serves as Deloitte Global CEO Emeritus. Under his leadership, Deloitte launched WorldClass — a global effort to prepare 100 million underprivileged people for a world of opportunity — based on the belief that business thrives when society thrives, the White House said. He is deeply committed to advancing diversity and inclusion at Deloitte through measurable actions toward gender balance. Recently, Deloitte made a commitment to be net zero by 2030 under its World Climate initiative and joined the First Movers Coalition. Renjen is being considered to be the next chairman of SAP SE, a Germany-based European multinational software company.
Subramaniam, 55, as President and Chief Executive Officer of FedEx Corporation, is responsible for providing strategic direction for all FedEx operating companies. He is the chair of the five-person Executive Committee, which plans and executes the corporation’s strategic business activities.
