Giuseppe Marino rejoins Hitachi Rail as group CEO

He rejoins the company after four years, having previously been Hitachi Rail’s COO of Rolling Stock, where he was responsible for the company’s manufacturing of high quality trains around the world.

Mr Marino will lead delivery of new projects in North America, APAC and EMEA, expanding Hitachi Rail’s global footprint. He will also oversee an increase in the scale of the business’ capability, particularly in engineering and project delivery.

Mr Marino said: “Rejoining Hitachi Rail, I’m already aware of the incredible transformation of the business over the last four years. Although Hitachi Rail is now a global integrated player in the mobility sector, I continue to be inspired by the passion and pride of our teams. Our shared mission is to drive decarbonisation and digital transformation in mobility, while delivering growth through our strong partnerships with our customers.”

Tony brings a wealth of experience to the chaplaincy. As well as working as a prison chaplain, Tony has worked extensively within the community of Lambeth, Southwark, Croydon, and West London in reaching out to hard-to-reach people with complex challenging needs.

He has founded community initiatives in partnership with Local Government including leading the prevention and intervention of gang gun and knife crime, and supported families who have been directly impacted by murder, suicide, violence and gun or knife crime.

“Chaplaincy plays an important role in supporting the mental health and well-being of railway staff,” said Liam Johnston, executive director of Railway Mission.

“Railway staff face unique challenges, including exposure to traumatic incidents, and the need to maintain the safety and security of passengers. Tony will be offering emotional support to railway staff who are dealing with the stresses and strains of their work and personal lives, by providing a listening ear, offering comfort and reassurance, and helping staff process their feelings and emotions.”
