OmniTRAX Inc.'s board has named David Garin chairman and elected OmniTRAX CEO Dean Piacente to its board. Their appointments were made as the company finished an extensive four-year growth period in 2024.
Since 2020, OmniTRAX has posted 50% growth, added new rail operations in growth markets and expanded its base of Fortune 500 customers, company officials said in a press release. The new customers have added $5 billion of new rail-served projects on the OmniTRAX network.
“OmniTRAX’s record-setting performance can be traced to a bold vision laid out four years ago and the disciplined execution of that business plan,” said Pat Broe, founder of OmniTRAX’s parent company, The Broe Group. “David, Dean, and outgoing chair Cameron Scott have been critical in shaping our strategy and pacing our record-setting trajectory.”
Garin was elected to the OmniTRAX board in 2019, following a 35-year career in the Class I sector. He held multiple leadership roles during his 19 years at BNSF Railway Co., including in sales and marketing.
Piacente, a former vice president at CSX, was named OmniTRAX CEO in February 2021. He brought three decades of financial planning, analysis and multicommodity. As a new board member and CEO, Piacente manages the daily operations of the railroad, terminal and transload services, acquisitions and industrial development.
Meanwhile, Scott has been named chair of The Broe Family Board.
