Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) Chair and CEO Janno Lieber has named three officials to senior strategic roles, including Demetrius Crichlow as the 12th permanent president of New York City Transit. Crichlow takes the role after serving over four months in interim capacity and after a decades long career at the MTA. As president, Crichlow will oversee the 50,000-person workforce, including operations for New York City subways, buses, paratransit services, and the Staten Island Railway.
Tim Mulligan, currently Deputy Chief Development Officer at MTA Construction and Development, is appointed to a newly created role, Chief of Rolling Stock Program.
Mersida Ibric is named as the Chief People Officer after serving six months in an acting capacity.
Each brings key leadership experience that will forward the MTA’s mission of delivering reliable, safe and fast service and join the most diverse senior leadership team the MTA has ever assembled – of the Chair and CEO’s direct reports, 50% are women and 40% are people of color.
