On July 12, former Delta CEO Richard Anderson will
take the chief executive position at Amtrak. Anderson will work alongside
current CEO Wick Moorman, whom Amtrak appointed as a transitional CEO in
September 2016, through the end of the year, at which point Moorman will move
into an advisory position, according to Amtrak. Besides serving as Delta's CEO
from 2007 through 2016, Anderson also was CEO of Northwest Airlines from 2001
to 2004, prior to its merger with Delta, and was an EVP at United Healthcare
for the years in between.
