    Dick Alexander has been promoted to the position of CEO of Transdev U.S. operations.

    Alexander is replacing Yann Leriche, who is returning to France and leaving the organization in June 2020.

    Alexander has been with Transdev for more than 18 years and has led the business development team over this extended timeframe. During his career at Transdev, he significantly grew the business and increased the breadth, depth and capabilities of the business development team. In recent years, he also oversaw the autonomous vehicle implementations in North America, developed early pilots of microtransit services and piloted the integration of TNCs in paratransit contracts. He has been a long-time member of Transdev’s North American Executive Committee.

    “Dick is well-known and appreciated as a highly experienced transit leader, an innovative thinker and a problem-solver. Transdev is fortunate to have him as our new CEO in the U.S.,” said Leriche, former CEO of Transdev North America, who will be advising Alexander and the senior team until June 2020, ensuring a smooth leadership transition.

    “I look forward to continuing to support our clients by delivering consistently safe, well-managed transit operations with a focus on improving the passenger experience,” said Alexander. “We are committed to innovating in the mobility of today and tomorrow to support our clients in achieving their goals.”

    Alexander holds a Master of Business Administration from Xavier University, in addition to his Bachelor of Urban Planning and Design from the University of Cincinnati.
