Marc Bernier on Dec. 1 transitioned to Vice President of Alstom’s Rolling Stock and Components (RSC) business in North America. He is leading engineering, development, and production sites, and has accountability for delivering all rolling stock projects in the region.

Alstom’s RSC sites produce and maintain high-speed, commuter rail, metro, and light rail vehicles. Manufacturing sites are located in West Mifflin, Pa.; Hornell and Plattsburgh, N.Y.; La Pocatière, Quebec; and Brampton, Kingston, and Thunder Bay, in Ontario; engineering and prototyping centers are in St-Bruno, Quebec.

The company is said to have delivered more than 15,000 new or renovated vehicles for transit agencies in New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Boston, Washington D.C., San Francisco, Atlanta, New Jersey, the Greater Toronto Area, Montreal, Edmonton, and Vancouver. The first five of its NextGen Acela trainsets for Amtrak began operating this summer on the Washington, D.C.-New York City-Boston Northeast Corridor.

Bernier had served as Chief Financial Officer for Alstom Americas since the company’s acquisition of Bombardier Transportation in 2021. He held the same role at Bombardier Transportation in North America, which he joined in 2019 from Bombardier Inc. According to Alstom, Bernier has held leadership positions across the aerospace, consumer goods, banking, and audit industries.

“I am thrilled to welcome Marc in his new capacity as part of the Alstom Americas executive team,” Alstom Americas President and CEO Michael Keroullé said. “Marc played a pivotal role in the transformation of the company since the acquisition of Bombardier Transportation in 2021, and has been a key contributor in the successful strengthening of Alstom in our region. In this new role, he and his team will continue to deliver on our commitment, to make Alstom the best rail technology partner to our customers and the communities they serve.”
