Jabil Inc. announced a number of senior leadership transitions that are effective immediately.

I look forward to working with all of them as we work to build on Jabil's legacy and pursue the exciting opportunities ahead.”
“We are also fortunate to have such a strong leadership roster to guide the Company into its next chapter and we couldn’t be more pleased to appoint Greg as our new CFO. Greg is an accomplished financial professional with a deep knowledge of Jabil and all its business units, and we look forward to partnering with him as we advance our strategic roadmap.”
