“I asked Annie to step into the CHRO role because she is adept at building a high-performing organization and aligning the enterprise behind who we are, how we grow, and how we bring employees along with us every step of the way,” said Mark George, CEO of Norfolk Southern. “Her strong skillset, organizational knowledge, and vast experience make Annie the right partner as we focus on deepening engagement, promoting excellence, and delivering even greater results. Annie’s voice at the table will be vital to our ongoing transformation and success.”

Throughout her career, Adams has successfully overseen key initiatives, including national rail labor negotiations, culture change management, and the relocation and design of Norfolk Southern’s headquarters.

Since joining Norfolk Southern in 2020 as Assistant Vice President Human Resources, Bryant has led workforce planning, performance management, training, and organizational change initiatives.
