XPO, Inc. announced that Brad Jacobs will step down as Executive Chairman of the Board, effective December 31, 2025. Jacobs will transition to the role of Special Advisor to the Company through June 30, 2026. Mario Harik will serve as Chairman of the Board while continuing in his role as CEO, which he has held since 2022. Harik’s increased responsibility underscores the Company’s commitment to continuity of strategy and long-term value creation for customers, employees, and shareholders.
“Leading XPO since 2011 has been one of the greatest privileges of my career,” Jacobs said. “Mario was one of my very first hires at XPO, and he’s done an exceptional job in every role he’s had, including Chief Information Officer, Chief Customer Officer, President of LTL, and most consequentially as CEO. The company is in very capable hands, and I look forward to supporting its continued success as an advisor through June 2026.”
“Brad has been an exceptional partner and mentor,” Harik said. “His vision is the reason for the strong foundation we continue to build upon today. I’m honored to carry forward our shared mission as Chairman and CEO.”
