A former President of FedEx Canada has been recommended to run the Port of Long Beach.

The Long Beach Board of Harbor Commissioners is scheduled to vote Monday to name Jon W. Slangerup as the Port of Long Beach’s new Chief Executive.

A statement announcing the selection called Slangerup “a veteran corporate executive with extensive experience in global logistics and environmental technologies.”

Slangerup will succeed former Executive Director J. Christopher Lytle, who left the port nearly a year ago for a similar position at the Port of Oakland.
