Patriot Rail's John Fenton: A leader to watch

摘要

Speaking of talent-blend tweaking, diversity of experience and the like: In the past, North American railroads weren't renowned for tapping non-traditional talent at leadership levels, but that doesn't mean they didn't tap it. During a recent interview, new Patriot Rail Corp. President and CEO John Fenton invoked the names of two non-traditional rail CEOs: Mike Walsh and Paul Tellier. "They were two of the people who had the biggest impact on railroading that I had encountered, and they both came from outside the business," Fenton said.
