Railsponsible has two new presidents!

After more than two years with Stephan Pfuhl (SBB CFF FFS) as the President of Railsponsible, two new leaders assumed their roles in March 2023. Stefan Braun (ÖBB) will take over as the new President, and Rainer Straub (Siemens Mobility) as the new Vice-President.

During the presidency handover, we shared ideas and lessons learned to ensure a seamless transition and establish a strong foundation for collaboration.

We also expressed our gratitude towards Stephan Pfuhl for his remarkable dedication and hard work during his tenure. Under his guidance, Railsponsible gained new members, adopted a new working mode, implemented a new governance model, and H&Z took over the Initiative Management Office.

Let’s see what the future holds!
