Hallcon Appoints Matt Garland as Chief Executive Officer

Hallcon, a provider of mobility and infrastructure services in North America, appointed Matt Garland as chief executive officer. Garland joins Hallcon following a 25-year career at BNSF Railway, where he most recently served as executive vice president operations and helped transform its operating ecosystem into a technologically advanced and efficient railroad.

Hallcon’s Board Chair Jeremy Kogler said, “Matt is a proven transportation leader with a strong track record of advancing safety and operational excellence. We view his wealth of experience in the rail industry, specifically in operations and logistics, as unmatched.”

Garland started at BNSF as a management trainee in 2001. Taking on increasingly senior roles, he worked his way up to become vice president of the southern region and general superintendent of the network operations center, senior vice president for transportation and service design, chief transportation officer, and executive vice president of operations.

Garland looks forward to working with the Hallcon team to pursue new opportunities. He said, “Having spent my entire career in this sector, I know that reliable transportation networks are built on disciplined execution and a deep understanding of the customer. Hallcon has built its legacy on both.”
