“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. She holds a B.A. from Davidson College, a master’s and Ph.D. from Rice University, and has completed the General Management Program at Harvard Business School. She also serves on the boards of Specialty Building Products, the Midtown Improvement District, and Woodruff Arts Center in Atlanta.

Adams expressed her enthusiasm for the role and her confidence in Bryant’s leadership:
“I am excited to continue working alongside my colleagues to build a great culture at NS, and proud to have PC leading our Human Resources function,” said Ann Adams, CHRO of Norfolk Southern. “PC is a collaborative leader who aligns HR strategy with enterprise goals and embraces data and technology to propel the work, all while staying grounded in what is most important – our people.”

Since joining Norfolk Southern in 2020 as Assistant Vice President Human Resources, Bryant has led workforce planning, performance management, training, and organizational change initiatives. Prior to Norfolk Southern, he held HR leadership roles at CSX, The Home Depot, and Intercontinental Hotels Group, among others.
