About Kimia K.
Transportation has always been more than an industry. It is the driving force behind progress, prosperity, and human ingenuity. Echoing her favorite author\'s belief that “the railroad was an achievement of man\'s mind, a symbol of a world where man was free to invent, to create, to achieve, to succeed,” Kimia is committed to shaping systems that foster sustainable economic growth and make opportunity and goods accessible for all. Throughout her career, she has helped advance the collective efforts of both the Short Line and Class I railroads, while leading investment in infrastructure development, championing the silent and often thankless work that keeps families fed and cities growing. Guided by purpose and values, Kimia finds motivation each day knowing that the path she and her colleagues have dedicated their careers to contributes to drives a healthy global and most importantly, inclusive economy.
