CSX announced a change in leadership for its Merchandise and Intermodal Sales & Marketing teams.
Dean Piacente has been appointed Vice President Industrial Products and Maryclare Kenney as Vice President Intermodal and Automotive.
“I’m thrilled to announce Maryclare’s promotion to her new expanded role,” said Mark K. Wallace, Executive Vice President, Sales and Marketing. “I’m confident her insights, background and leadership will help drive exceptional service across the portfolio. Dean’s broad experience across CSX’s different markets, as well as his deep knowledge of the needs of our industrial customers, will continue to strengthen our customer partnerships.”
Piacente, who began his career with CSX in 1987, was previously Vice President, Intermodal and now assumes responsibility for the company’s chemicals, metals, paper and forest products businesses.
