Erica Ray, SVP of Leasing at AITX, didn’t plan on a career in rail, but rail, as it turns out, had a plan for her. In “From RACS to Rail Leasing,” Harris + Sydney sit down with Erica to trace a career that spans revenue accounting at Norfolk Southern (ask her all about RACS!), a front-row seat to the PTC era, a little rail-inspired stand-up, + a move to equipment leasing at AITX, which she views as both rewarding + considerably less stressful.
Erica brings her candid, been-there perspective to discuss some of the most common railroading headaches, as well as where she sees it all going in the near-term. Thick skin required, optimism optional – but, luckily, she has plenty of both!
