Brad Jacobs will step down as executive chairman of XPO, transitioning to a special advisory role, effective Dec. 31.
Jacobs for nearly 15 years has led XPO, one of the largest providers of warehousing, trucking and last-mile services in the U.S., including through its split into two separate, publicly traded companies in 2021.
That split created GXO Logistics, from which Jacobs will also step down as non-executive chairman at the end of the year.
"When we completed the GXO spinoff, I committed to staying on for three years as chairman," Jacobs said Monday. "More than four years later, the company is stronger than ever, and the leadership team is well-positioned to drive GXO's next chapter of growth."
Mario Harik will serve as chairman of XPO, while also continuing in his role as chief executive, which he has held since 2022, the company said.
Patrick Byrne is set to assume the role of non-executive chairman of GXO Logistics. His appointment follows what the company called a period of significant transformation, including the appointment of Chief Executive Patrick Kelleher, several additional senior leadership hires and regulatory approval of GXO's acquisition of Wincanton.
