Kansas City Southern on May 24 promoted Vice President Energy and Short Line Relations Ginger L. Adamiak to Vice President Energy, Industrial Development and Commercial Innovation, a new position. She reports to Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer Brian D. Hancock.
Adamiak has more than 30 years of experience in sales and marketing, investor relations, banking, treasury, structured financing, leasing and market analysis, including 22 years in transportation. She joined KCS in 2006, and has held roles in sales and marketing, finance and investor relations. Previously, she spent nine years with GATX Corp. and held financial positions with Household International and Continental Bank.
Adamiak holds a master of business administration from the J.L. Kellogg Graduate School of Business at Northwestern University and a bachelor of science in finance from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
Adamiak’s promotion is part of KCS’s combination of its Commercial Innovation and Industrial Development departments. “This realignment … creates a single organization focused on developing new revenue streams,” said Hancock. “Ginger and her team will develop industrial solutions for our customers, including a more active industrial and real estate development platform with new process and technology innovation. This new organization will also lead and support KCS’ efforts in commercial innovation and focus on developing business accelerators, such as those previously announced to support Mexico’s energy reform.”
