WASHINGTON, Aug. 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- In an effort to
operate in a more efficient and effective manner and better serve
customers, Postmaster General Louis
DeJoy today announced a modified organizational structure
for the U.S. Postal Service.
The new organization will align functions based on core business
operations and will provide more clarity and focus on what the
Postal Service does best; collect, process, move and deliver mail
and packages.
The new organizational structure is focused on three business
operating units:
- Retail and Delivery Operations — basic mission: Accept and
deliver mail and packages efficiently with a high level of customer
satisfaction. This organization will be led by Kristin Seaver.
- Logistics and Processing Operations –— basic mission: Process
and move mail and packages efficiently to the delivery units,
meeting service standards. This organization will be led by
David Williams.
- Commerce and Business Solutions — basic mission: Leverage
infrastructure to enable growth. This organization will be led by
Jacqueline (Jakki) Krage
Strako.
DeJoy also announced the appointment of Scott Bombaugh as acting Chief Technology
Officer, Steve Monteith as acting
Chief Customer and Marketing Officer, and Pritha Mehra as acting Chief Information
Officer. For the complete executive leadership team, please see

"This organizational change will capture operating efficiencies
by providing clarity and economies of scale that will allow us to
reduce our cost base and capture new revenue," said Postmaster
General and CEO Louis DeJoy. "It is
crucial that we do what is within our control to help us
successfully complete our mission to serve the American people and,
through the universal service obligation, bind our nation together
by maintaining and operating our unique, vital and resilient
infrastructure."
As part of the modified organizational structure, logistics and
mail processing operations will report into the new Logistics and
Processing Operations organization separate from existing area and
district reporting structures. This includes all mail processing
facilities and local transportation network offices. Splitting
operations into these two organizations is designed to allow for
improved focus and clear communication channels.
These organizational changes do not initiate a
reduction-in-force, and there are no immediate impacts to USPS
employees. However, to prepare for future changes, the Postal
Service has implemented a management hiring freeze and will be
requesting future Voluntary Early Retirement Authority from the
Office of Personnel Management for employees not represented by a
collective bargaining agreement.
The Postal Service receives no tax dollars for operating
expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products and services
to fund its operations.
