Norfolk Southern EVP and CMO Don Seale to Retire

Donald W. Seale, executive vice president and chief marketing officer of Norfolk Southern Corp., has announced his plan to retire effective March 1, 2015, Chairman and CEO Wick Moorman said.

“Don’s central role in building Norfolk Southern’s culture of continuous improvement in customer focus began at the corporation’s creation, and we will continue to benefit from it well into the future,” Moorman said. “His leadership has helped position railroads not only as engines of economic growth but as true partners with the people and industries we serve.”
