Giuseppe Marino is Hitachi Rail's new CEO. He will be the Italian engineer who succeeds the Englishman Andrew Barr as the head of the Japanese railway industry titan. Marino is a 58-year-old mechanical engineer, from Brescia, with a master's degree in management, who will begin his responsibilities on April 1. Giuseppe Marino's mission - as it can be read from a note of the company - will be to lead the business in achieving the social, environmental, and economic objectives of Hitachi's Mid Term Management Plan for 2024. Marino enters the company when Hitachi is finalizing the acquisition of Thales' Ground Transportation Systems business for 1,660,000,000 euros, as the company announced in recent months. A second dossier on the Italian engineer's desk will be the NRRP, which provides for investments in the railway sector to upgrade our nation's rail lines and fleets. Marino has resigned from his position as CEO and general manager of Ansaldo Energia, the company he led for more than three years, and will work at the division's headquarters in London, United Kingdom. Hitachi Rail is present in 38 countries across all continents and employs over 12,000 people, including 6,000 in Italy.
