What you will learn
This week on The Audit Podcast, our guest is Jamie Meziere, Chief Audit Executive at FedEx.
Jamie shares what FedEx’s analytics and AI program looks like today and the one thing she wishes every auditor would start doing now. She also talks about the early career goal she set to become a CAE—and how she created a plan, executed on it, and ultimately stepped into the Chief Audit Executive role at one of the largest organizations in the world.
We also get into what happens after you reach that milestone: what her first year as CAE has looked like, how she approached her first performance evaluation, and the criteria she believes matter most when evaluating CAEs.

Curriculum
Your instructor
I’m the founder of Greenskies Analytics and a former EY IT Risk Assurance and Financial Services veteran, where I helped build data analytics procedures used across audit teams. Today I partner with internal audit functions to design practical analytics and AI strategies that raise maturity, credibility, and influence—experience that’s shaped by work across industries and what it truly takes to lead.
I’m passionate about helping early-career auditors chart intentional paths to the CAE seat. In this course, I translate lessons from building audit programs, mentoring analysts, and interviewing hundreds of audit leaders on The Audit Podcast, plus insights from the audit analytics roundtables I facilitate. My goal is to give you actionable steps—skills to master, outcomes to deliver, and relationships to build—so you can grow faster and lead sooner.
