Harrison to serve CSX as president in addition to CEO

In addition to serving as CSX Corp.'s chief executive officer, E. Hunter Harrison will serve as president of the Class I, according to a proxy statement hedge fund Mantle Ridge LP filed last week with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Mantle Ridge, now a CSX shareholder, helped negotiate Harrison's hiring as CSX CEO earlier this year.

The CSX annual meeting will be held June 5 in Richmond, Va., at which time shareholders will be asked to vote on a compensation and reimbursement package for Harrison.
