Guido De Ciccio, Canadian Pacific (CP) senior vice president, Operations Western Region, announced his retirement from CP after 40 years with the company on Sept. 15.

 

“After 40 excellent years with the company, it is time to embrace the next phase of my life and make way for the next generation of railroaders at CP,” De Ciccio said. “CP has transformed for the better under the leadership of Hunter Harrison and I am grateful for his mentorship. While I am excited about the future, I will always look back on my time at CP with great fondness and appreciation.”

Mark Redd, vice president Operations West Region, will replace De Ciccio in the senior vice president role. Redd joined the CP staff in October of 2013, taking on roles including general manager operations for U.S. West and general manager operations for the company’s Central Division. Officials say Redd brings more than 20 years of industry experience from Kansas City Southern Railway prior to joining CP.

De Ciccio joined CP in May of 1976, beginning his career with the company as a laborer in Montreal. De Ciccio also served as general manager East, assistant vice president East and vice president CP before taking the helm as senior vice president, Operations Western Region.

“I congratulate Guido on his 40 years of loyal service and thank him for his leadership and extraordinary commitment to CP,” said CP CEO E. Hunter Harrison. “I also thank Guido for his friendship; it was a unique pleasure to work alongside a railroader with a vintage in the industry close to mine and I wish him well in all his future endeavours.”

Keith Creel, CP’s president and CEO, emphasized how much he enjoyed his working relationship and friendship with De Ciccio. 

“His passion and enthusiasm for railroading was infectious,” Creel said of De Ciccio. “While he will be sorely missed, we are delighted to give Mark an opportunity to step up and continue to deliver superior service for our customers, employees and shareholders.”
