Bauer Tapped as President and CEO of Siemens Mobility North America
With more than 20 years of experience in Siemens, Bauer will lead a team of more than 4,500 employees “to deliver seamless, reliable and innovative transportation solutions to customers across the United States and Canada.”
Joining Siemens in 2004, Bauer has held key leadership roles across Europe, India, and North America over the past two decades, including assignments in New York, Massachusetts, and California. He has served as Acting CEO of Siemens Mobility North America since July 2025 and was appointed President of the North American Rolling Stock division in January 2025. Before that, Bauer was the Senior Vice President of Rail Infrastructure for Siemens Mobility North America, a role he held since 2021.
Bauer has played a key role in major Siemens Mobility North America projects over the course of his career, from implementing Communications-Based Train Control (CBTC) to delivering the first Siemens Dual-Mode Charger Locomotives for Metro-North Railroad earlier this year, which seamlessly switches between diesel-electric and third-rail electric power, the company noted.
“We’re delighted to name Tobias Bauer as CEO of Siemens Mobility North America,” said Michael Peter, Global CEO of Siemens Mobility. “His proven track record of innovation, customer-focused growth, and experience across our business makes him uniquely suited to lead our operations in North America. Under his visionary leadership, we will strengthen our market position and transform mobility for operators and passengers across the United States and Canada.”
In addition to his CEO responsibilities, Bauer will continue as President of Rolling Stock for Siemens Mobility North America, “driving the development and delivery of advanced rail solutions—from light rail and locomotives to trainsets and high-speed rail,” the company said.
“It is an honor and true privilege to lead Siemens Mobility North America during this transformative time for the rail industry,” said Bauer. “Siemens Mobility is ready to lead the way, with our talented team that keeps communities connected and innovation moving forward. Together, we’ll set new standards for mobility across North America.”
