KCS promotes Adamiak to VP energy, industrial development

Kansas City Southern has promoted Ginger Adamiak to vice president of energy, industrial development and commercial innovation, the Class I announced yesterday.

Adamiak previously served as VP of energy and short-line relations. Her promotion is part of the KCS' realignment of its commercial innovation and industrial development functions to create one organization focused on developing new revenue streams, said Executive VP and Chief Marketing Officer Brian Hancock in a press release.

"Ginger and her team will develop industrial solutions for our customers, including a more active industrial and real estate development platform with new process and technology innovation," said Hancock. "This new organization will also lead and support KCS' efforts in commercial innovation and focus on developing business accelerators, such as those previously announced to support Mexico's energy reform."

Adamiak has more than 30 years of experience in sales and marketing, investor relations, banking, structured financing, leasing and market analysis, including 22 years in transportation. Since joining KCS in 2006, she has held roles in sales and marketing, finance and investor relations.

Previously, Adamiak spent nine years with GATX Corp. and held financial positions with Household International and Continental Bank.
