Bengaluru, India (Urban Transport News): Alstom has appointed Olivier Loison as the Managing Director for the India cluster, which will take effect from June 2022. He takes charge of Alain Spohr, who is retiring after 40 years of service with Alstom. Based in Bengaluru, he will be responsible for executing the Alstom in Motion (AiM) strategy, driving business expansion, as well as overseeing commercial and operational performance.

I am grateful for the foundation laid in the past years under the strong leadership of Alain Spohr and extend gratitude to the teams for their unwavering support to keep our business moving amidst the pandemic. India continues to be at the cornerstone of Alstom’s global strategy and has been playing a crucial role in the company’s business growth over the years, driving engineering and industrial capabilities.”

Thus, leading to new opportunities for players like Alstom. Our portfolio of sustainable and innovative mobility solutions and presence in this market will help us contribute to India’s growth story,” he added.
