The Greenbrier Companies, Inc. announced Feb. 26, 2016 that William Glenn, Senior Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer has decided to pursue opportunities outside the company. Effective immediately, Glenn is relinquishing his responsibilities as Chief Commercial Officer, but will retain his responsibilities as President of Greenbrier Europe during a transition period, the company says.
During his 13-year tenure with Greenbrier, Glenn has played an important role in shaping Greenbrier's expansion in North America and was instrumental in shaping Greenbrier's international footprint in Europe and the Middle East, the company says.
"I want to thank William for his many contributions to our growth and success and I wish him well in all future endeavors. We are proud of our growing international business and I look forward to working with William and our executive management team to solidify our strategies in Europe and the Middle East during his transition," said William A. Furman, CEO and Chairman.
As previously announced, the Commercial unit now reports to Mark Rittenbaum, Executive Vice President, Commercial, Leasing and Finance. Rittenbaum also chairs an executive committee with broader responsibilities reporting to the Chairman.
