ATLANTA — Norfolk Southern has named Jason A. Zampi as chief financial officer and treasurer and Jason M. Morris as chief legal officer and corporate secretary, the company announced Tuesday.
Zampi, who also becomes an executive vice president, has been at Norfolk Southern for 13 years in roles in forecasting, budgeting, and corporate accounting. Previously, he was a senior manager with KPMG LLP. He moves into the role previously held by Mark R. George, elevated to CEO with the ouster of Alan Shaw earlier this month [see “Norfolk Southern dismisses CEO Alan Shaw …,” Trains News Wire, Sept. 11, 2024].
“Jason is someone our entire executive team and board count on to provide critical financial insights that increase our success,” George said in a press release. “His deep industry knowledge, coupled with his strategic leadership and commitment to operational excellence, makes him an invaluable asset as we continue to position Norfolk Southern for long-term growth.”
Morris, also named a senior vice president, joined Norfolk Southern’s legal department in 2010 and took roles of increasing responsibility there, the railroad says, before also serving in the Operations and Tranformation divisions. He was appointed vice president Law in 2022. He has previously served as a legislative director in the U.S. House of Representatives and as a logistics readiness officer in the Virginia Air National Guard, in addition to service as an officer in the U.S. Air Force.
“Jason Morris is a trusted advisor and natural leader with extensive experience in crisis and risk management, compliance, legal strategy, and public service,” said George. “He has a unique ability to apply his military, government, and legal background to develop dynamic strategies, enhance system improvements, and mitigate organizational risks. We have no doubt Jason will push Norfolk Southern to meet the highest standards for our employees, our customers, our shareholders, and the communities where our railroaders live and operate.”

Both men’s CV look good, it is my hope they can provide god leadership to keep NS moving in the right direction.
CVs mean nothing. I see this as a backdoor move to reinstate hard core PSR. Only time will tell.
