Transportation Speaker Series: Planes, Trains and Automobiles (and Bikes)
Highlight: Jay Walder, MPP '83, outgoing Chairman and CEO of New York's
MTA and (effective January 1) CEO of Hong Kong's MTR, will draw on
his experiences.
Description: Jay Walder joined the MTA as chairman and chief executive
officer in October 2009. In his tenure with the country's largest
public transportation system, Jay has overseen an agenda of change
that included the most aggressive cost-cutting initiative in the
history of the MTA and numerous customer improvements. Jay began
his career in 1983 at the MTA, heading its capital program budget
office, later serving as chief of staff and then executive director
and chief financial officer. After leaving the MTA in 1995 he
taught at the Harvard Kennedy School. He subsequently joined
Transport for London (TfL), where he served as the managing
director for finance and development until 2006. From 2007
until rejoining the MTA, Jay was a partner at McKinsey &
Company. http://www.hks.harvard.edu/centers/taubman/news-events
