RXO names Daniel Morris chief accounting officer, succeeding Jason Kerr in May 2026
RXO appointed Daniel Morris, its vice president of accounting, as chief accounting officer effective May 15, 2026. Current CAO Jason Kerr will retire on that date, stay on as an employee until October 15, 2026, and help with the transition, and his departure is not tied to any disagreement over accounting or internal controls. For shareholders, this is a planned succession in a key finance role rather than a change in reported results.
