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.”
NS’ board of directors will name Seale’s successor at a later time.
Seale joined NS in 1976 as a management trainee. He served in numerous sales and marketing capacities relating to the railroad’s service to its merchandise and coal customers before being named senior vice president marketing services in 2003, executive vice president sales and marketing in 2004, and executive vice president and chief marketing officer in 2006.
