Create More Value Podcast: Sean Pelkey shares the Great Success Story of CSX

Sean Pelkey, CFO of CSX Corporation, discusses the railroad company’s stunning transformation in the face of stark headwinds and a devastating loss of business as the coal industry collapsed in the early 2010s. Starting in 2017, CSX effectively tripled its share price over five years. Now, the company is shifting from efficiency to a profitable growth mindset. In Q1 2024, their share price hit an all-time high, reflecting this strategy's early success. Behind this cultural shift towards growth was a renewed focus on differentiated service offerings and a unique measure that fosters a shared goal of value creation. Sean and Greg’s discussion highlights leading through change, balancing competing metrics, and strategic capital allocation, while showcasing how determined leadership can thrive, even in tough circumstances.
