Lucie Anderton, Head of Sustainability at UIC since September 2020, will now take up a new role as the Coordinator of the North American region.

On secondment from Network Rail, the British infrastructure manager, Anderton has more than 17 years of experience working in rail sustainability. She spent most of her earlier career managing environmental issues during the design and construction phases of major infrastructure projects and later worked in the Network Rail Technical Authority as head of social sustainability policy. Sustainability, and in particular decarbonisation, will be one of the North American region’s priorities as shown by the ‘Transforming Transport’ event organised at the World Bank Headquarters in Washington, DC, that Anderton will be attending in March, and in May, she will be visiting Denver for the Federal Railroad Administration workshop ‘Rail: On Track For Decarbonization’.

Anderton said that there were clearly lots of exciting opportunities for rail across North America and how much she was looking forward to better understanding the challenges to face and to facilitating productive cross-region knowledge sharing.

Marie Plaud-Lombard, Head of Communication, to fully focus on UIC’s large-scale communications programme

UIC has decided upon an impressive communications programme aligned with the 2023-2025 UIC Work Programme, which will be released in the coming days. Therefore, Plaud-Lombard will be focusing on the communication challenges associated with the new agenda.

UIC thanks her for her work and involvement in this region.
