RSVPs are required. Please sign up at the bottom of this page. 

Louis DeJoy will share with the Greensboro Rotary an inside look at his journey as the 75th Postmaster General of the United States. Louis DeJoy is an accomplished American entrepreneur, business executive, real estate investor, community leader, philanthropist, and political fundraiser, with more than 40 years’ experience with both private and public companies.

Louis is currently President of LDJ Global Strategies, a strategic real estate investment and consulting company based in Greensboro, North Carolina.

Most recently, Louis was the 75th Postmaster General of the United States and Chief Executive Officer of the U.S. Postal Service. He was appointed by the organization’s Board of Governors and began his tenure in June 2020. In his role as Postmaster General, DeJoy also served as a member of the Board of Governors.

DeJoy led one of the largest organizational transformations in the United States. Based on his pragmatic, 10-year Delivering for America plan, nearly every operation and function of the Postal Service was being improved, ensuring that it can continue to fulfill its public service mission with financial strength well into the future.

In his almost five-year tenure, DeJoy has led the Postal Service to recover from unprecedented financial, structural, operational and cultural challenges. He drove significant progress to put the Postal Service on a positive trajectory to retain its stature as a cherished American institution and also become a more efficient, high-performing logistics and delivery enterprise.

Before joining the Postal Service, DeJoy spent more than 35 years building and leading a nationwide logistics company. As chairman and chief executive officer of New Breed Logistics, DeJoy spent decades in collaboration with federal agencies and major corporations, to provide supply chain logistics, program management and transportation support.

In 2014, New Breed merged with XPO Logistics, with DeJoy serving as chief executive officer of XPO Logistics’ supply chain business in the Americas before his retirement in December 2015. He then joined the company’s board of directors, where he served until 2018.

DeJoy is a member of the board of trustees at Elon University in North Carolina. He received a Bachelor of Business Administration from Stetson University in Florida. He resides in Greensboro, North Carolina with his wife, Dr. Aldona Wos.
