Union Pacific has tapped veteran rail executive Jim Vena to
succeed Lance Fritz at the helm of the freight railroad.
Union Pacific on Wednesday said Vena, who served as its chief
operating officer from 2019 to 2021 after spending more than four
decades at Canadian National Railway, would return to the Omaha,
Neb., company as chief executive and a member of the board,
effective Aug. 14.
Union Pacific in February said it was seeking a new leader after
shareholder Soroban Capital Partners publicly urged the railroad's
board to oust Fritz, who has been CEO since 2015.
Soroban also pushed for the hiring of Vena, a disciple of the
late Hunter Harrison and a proponent of precision scheduling
railroading, the strategy Harrison deployed in Canada and at CSX
Corp.
Union Pacific on Wednesday said Fritz would step down as
chairman, president and CEO, with Beth Whited, currently executive
vice president of sustainability and strategy and chief human
resources officer, moving up to president.
The company said Mike McCarthy, its lead independent director,
would succeed Fritz as chairman.
