I AM/SEARCH RAILTALENT
Monday, 08 April 2019 / Published in General

Professor John Roberts (UK and Thailand)

Job Title/Company Director of Asian Region – NewRail
Qualifications Applied Physics, International Marketing, DMS
Career 30 years in the Automotive Industry and 20 years in the Railway Industry
Why did you choose to work for the rail industry? I was headhunted from a senior position as director of an automotive test house
What inspired you at the time and what influenced your choice? A lifetime interest in railways
How does it feel to be in the rail industry? Are your expectations fulfilled? Many people believe that the rail industry is “Old fashioned” technology. This is far from the truth as can be seen in many current projects.
What are the challenges? For me, in Asia, the challenge is educating the rail workforce to be able to undertake knowledge transfer from the external supply industry
What is a talent? Why the rail industry should engage with talents? Talent is a motivation to learn at every opportunity. We can all learn from others.
