About Jason Levinn

I am a passionate, customer-focused railroad engineering and business leader with over 15 years of experience delivering impactful, sustainable solutions in rail transportation and renewable energy.

My career highlights include growing Booz Allen’s federal rail business revenue by 8x and overseeing the $16 billion Hudson Tunnel Project,$15 billion in nationwide passenger rail rolling stock procurements, and $3 billion in discretionary grants for Central U.S. states.
