Norfolk Continues Forward Motion with Human Resources VP
Norfolk Southern Corporation is looking to a new leader for human resources in Barbara Paul who will be the new vice president of the division. The transportation group is hoping to future proof and become a more resilient company and with that comes a new strategy in managing its people.
Paul is no stranger to Norfolk though, having been with the company since 2005. She is being promoted from her previous position as assistant vice president of human resources and diversity. While she joined Norfolk in 2005, she took a short break from 2009 to 2011 to earn her Master of Education degree.
Norfolk also recently elected new directors to various committees with operational and technological histories to lead the company’s transformation.
