“We are deeply grateful for Claude’s leadership over the past six years,” said NS President and CEO Mark R. George. “He has put outsized time and effort into his service as the company navigated several challenges, ultimately stepping up as chair last year to successfully integrate our new board. He leaves Norfolk Southern a much stronger railroad than it was when he joined us.”
