Brightline parent hires European rail veteran to lead company's growth, quest for profits
"In what appears to be its biggest management shakeup in years, the parent of Brightline, the South Florida-based high-speed passenger railroad, has reached across the Atlantic to hire a past CEO of the iconic Eurostar rail line to spearhead the company's expansion and quest for profitability. Nicolas Petrovic, 56, has been retained as CEO of Brightline Holdings LLC and will be based in Miami, according to an announcement released by Brightline Trains early Wednesday morning. Petrovic will succeed Michael Reininger, who led Brightline's development from 2012-2018 and again since 2021."
""In his new role, Petrovic will focus on driving long-term value and sustained growth for Brightline's Florida operations while maintaining the operational excellence that has distinguished the brand," the company said in the announcement. "Reininger will continue with the company in the new capacity of managing director and member of the board of Brightline West, where he will oversee the development of America's first high speed passenger system.""
