Lisa Steed

Lisa Steed is a transportation and logistics entrepreneur, FedEx contractor and award-recognized leader in trucking operations. She is the founder and CEO of Linked Again, Inc., a woman-led FedEx contracting company known for exceptional safety, service performance and employee retention. 

Lisa Steed is recognized as a safety-first logistics leader, an in-the-trenches operator and a woman entrepreneur who has built durable transportation systems in a male-dominated industry — and her momentum in the way of innovation isn’t slowing down. 

Safety-First Transportation Leadership

Lisa Steed’s work in transportation is guided by a clear, consistent philosophy: safety is not a priority that shifts — it is a constant. As both a professional driver and executive leader, Steed understands logistics from the ground up. She has driven routes herself, trained drivers personally and built operations that reflect real-world conditions rather than theoretical models. This firsthand experience informs her approach to fleet safety, driver development and operational standards.

Lisa Steed was an early adopter of in-vehicle cameras and GPS systems, not to police drivers, but to strengthen training and correct small habits before they became costly problems. This use of technology helped create a culture of accountability without fear, resulting in long-term safety gains and trust across her teams. Under her leadership, Linked Again, Inc. has maintained a multi-year zero-crash record and industry-leading service metrics — outcomes that reflect clarity of purpose rather than surface-level optimization.

Women-Led Logistics & In-the-Trenches Entrepreneurship

Lisa Steed is the Founder and CEO of Linked Again, Inc.: a woman-led FedEx contracting company. Entering trucking when female ownership was rare, Steed helped redefine what leadership in logistics could look like. She was one of the only female owners in her station and among a small handful of women on the delivery side when she began. By leading visibly and competently, she helped normalize women’s presence in operational roles, contributing to increased female participation across driving and management positions.

Lisa Steed’s leadership style is deliberately hands-on. She does not ask employees to perform work she has not done herself, a principle that has fostered loyalty, high retention and shared accountability. A thyroid cancer survivor and FedEx Humanitarian Award recipient, Steed brings resilience, composure and humanity into her work.
