CN picks COO
CN has appointed Edmond Harris to succeed Rob Reilly with immediate effect as the rail enterprise’s executive vice-president and chief operating officer. Harris already worked closely with the CN operations leadership team on the company's operational and service excellence initiatives since April 2022.
Harris has been one of the railroad industry’s top executives during a career in operations that spans 40 years, including three decades working at Illinois Central and CN, including roles as executive vice-president for operations until 2007.
Prior to joining CN in a consulting capacity earlier this year, Harris served as CSX’s executive vice-president for operations from 2018 to 2020. He also worked as COO of Canadian Pacific Railway (CP) from 2010 to 2012. (cj)
