Peter Torrellas of Cubic Transportation Systems shares news of his appointment as President , alongside future ambitions for the business

Peter Torrellas , can we start with an introduction to you , your career history , and how that led you to Cubic Transportation Systems ? I ’ ve worked in the transportation sector for 20 years on projects such as bringing passenger information to New Yorkers underground for the first time . I spent a long time at Siemens and then I was at Parsons where I led the global business unit dedicated to rail technology and infrastructure . My passion has always been about transforming infrastructure and leveraging innovation to improve people ’ s lives . That made joining Cubic a natural next step as part of my ongoing mission – knowing that as a Cubes I have the ability to positively impact the almost 38 million people a day who use our system around the world and be part of a world-class team .

Could you provide a little insight into your newly appointed role as President of Cubic Transportation Systems ? What aspect of your work do you enjoy the most ? I ’ m responsible for leading Cubic Transportation Systems ’ strategic vision , growing its customer base , enhancing partnerships with existing customers and building on the long history of technology innovation around the world . We are at an exhilarating place for both the industry and our organization .

Meeting customers around the world and hearing their stories is one of the most rewarding parts of the job and helps me understand the challenges that transit agencies are facing , no matter where they are located . The aspect I enjoy the most is working with my fellow Cubes around the world and being part of the energy and passion that gets poured into the mission we are on to upgrade the world ’ s ability to move people so they can live , work and play in cities and communities around the world .

Longer term , we want to continue to be the model for the fare collection industry , looking at how we integrate AI into new solutions , for example .
