                         Tuesday, May 14, 2024

  Mr. EMMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize a man whose service and 
leadership have left a lasting mark on everyone he's worked with 
throughout his career. Brian Newman is the Executive Vice President and 
Chief Financial Officer of UPS, he recently announced he will depart in 
June after having served the company for five pivotal years.
  The United Parcel Service, commonly referred to as UPS, operates in 
over 200 countries and territories, with 500,000 employees globally, 
including nearly 7,000 in the state of Minnesota. Each day, 22.3 
million packages and documents make their way through the UPS network.
  Hockey players thrive under pressure, rely on their teammates, and 
appreciate the rewards of hard work, dedication, focus and discipline. 
Brian, a fellow ice hockey player and fan, embodies the hockey ethic.
  Brian began his career in 1990 as an investment banker working for 
PaineWebber in New York City. He then spent 26 years with PepsiCo and 
served in a variety of finance leadership roles spanning Europe, Asia, 
and North and South America. He also served as Executive Vice-President 
for PepsiCo's Global Operations and as Chief Strategy Officer.
  During his five-year tenure as UPS's Chief Financial Officer, Brian 
navigated the company through some challenging situations. Under his 
leadership, Brian delivered results that supported employees, customers 
and communities. His list of accomplishments during just five years 
with UPS is impactful, and his leadership through the COVID-l9 pandemic 
cannot be overstated. He has left an indelible mark on UPS's people.
  Brian is an effective executive and financial expert, always ensuring 
his people, investors and shareholders understand the complexities of 
UPS's financial standing. He is a trusted advisor to his peers, a 
leader for UPS employees around the world, and a member of UPS's 
executive leadership team. Brian embodies UPS's purpose statement of 
moving our world forward by delivering what matters.
  Brian also serves on the board of Colgate-Palmolive as well as his 
alma mater, Georgetown University and Delbarton School. A native of New 
Jersey, he still considers the tri-state area his home.
  I know Brian will be missed by all who had the opportunity to work 
with him throughout his impressive career. His positive impact on UPS 
will continue to be felt for years to come. We all wish Brian, his 
wife, Lynne, and their children, Kendall, Shay, Conor and Finley, the 
best as they begin the journey ahead of them.
