Metrolink is pleased to announce the recent addition of two key executives to our leadership team: Chief People Officer (CPO) Alberto Lara and Chief Technology Officer (CTO) Kevin Gray. Through their expertise and passion for their crafts, Alberto and Kevin are already helping advance the agency’s mission of delivering exceptional service for our riders and support for our staff.
As CPO and the highest-ranking member of Metrolink’s Human Resources Department, Alberto serves as the agency’s equal employment opportunity officer and is responsible for overseeing talent acquisition, diversity and inclusion, staff development, and learning and compensation. He brings over three decades of industry experience and has held numerous roles within the government and transportation sectors. Most recently, Alberto was the director of human resources for the County of Yolo.
As CTO, Kevin leads Metrolink’s Integrated Digital and Technology Services (IDTS) Department, which manages enterprise applications, cybersecurity, train control systems, fare collections and technology infrastructure. In his new role, he has also been charged with modernizing and optimizing processes and identifying opportunities for strategic collaboration. Kevin is an award-winning technology executive and joins Metrolink from the City of Burbank where he spent six years as its chief information officer.
Alberto joined Metrolink in July, and Kevin came aboard at the beggining of this month. We are thrilled to welcome professionals of their caliber to the Metrolink team.
