Sound Transit's board yesterday approved the one-year appointment of Goran Sparrman as interim CEO.
Sparrman's first day at the Seattle-area agency is today. He succeeds Julie Timm, who resigned to return to the East Coast for family reasons.
"In the next nine months, we will expand Link light rail at a scale never before seen at the agency, and we’re excited to have Goran’s skill set and background leading the way," said Sound Transit Chair Dow Constantine in a press release. "This is ambitious, exciting and, of course, daunting. The Board believes in Goran’s ability to lead the agency through this transformative period of growth while continuing to focus on delivering reliable, frequent, and safe transit service for all our passengers."
A transportation industry veteran, Sparrman most recently was a vice president at HNTB. He has more than 30 years in transportation planning and operations in the public and private sectors.
