Bewley joins All Aboard Florida's leadership team as CFO

Florida East Coast Industries (FECI) has named Jason Bewley chief financial officer of All Aboard Florida, FECI's proposed intercity passenger-rail line that would connect central and southern Florida.

Bewley will be responsible for all financial aspects of All Aboard Florida's operations and development, FECI officials said in a press release. His hiring marks another step in building All Aboard Florida's leadership team, added FECI President and Chief Executive Officer Vincent Signorello.

Bewley has more than 20 years of experience in passenger transportation, travel and tourism, including nine years at AirTran Airways, where he was senior director of finance and investor relations. As vice president of corporate finance for World Fuel Services, he was responsible for investor relations and led financial planning and analysis globally, FECI officials said.

All Aboard Florida proposes to build a privately owned and operated passenger-rail line that would connect Miami to Orlando and feature stations in Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach.
