The United States Postal Service (USPS) has appointed David Steiner, a member of the FedEx board of directors and former CEO of Waste Management Inc., as its next Postmaster General and CEO. Steiner, 65, will succeed Louis DeJoy and is set to join the agency in July 2025. He will become the 76th Postmaster General of the USPS. Steiner's selection was made by the USPS board of governors, reportedly at the urging of President Donald Trump. Steiner is noted for leading a turnaround at Waste Management, the nation’s largest waste management company, and currently serves on the FedEx board, a company known for its aggressive non-union stance. His appointment has sparked discussions about a potential push toward privatization of the USPS amid ongoing concerns about the agency's outdated business model and operational challenges.
