Written by Jenifer Nunez, assistant editor

Kansas City Southern has appointed Lora Cheatum to senior vice president human resources.

She will lead the U.S. team and collaborate closely with the leaders of KCS’ Mexico subsidiary, Kansas City Southern de Mexico. Cheatum reports to KCS president and Chief Executive Officer David Starling.

“The breadth of Lora’s international business experience will be an excellent complement to our leadership team,” said Starling.

Cheatum has 27 years of human resources and business leadership experience. She joins KCS from Layne, where she was senior vice president global human resources since 2012.

Prior to Layne, she spent nine years with Kansas City Power & Light, most recently as vice president of procurement and previously as vice president human resources.
