Recognized as an inspirational leader and catalyst for change, Corina is known for inspiring employees to achieve unprecedented results. During her eight years as President and CEO of Ontario Northland Transportation, Corina shifted the business to be data-driven, customer-focused, lean, and strategic. A struggling century-old organization was transformed to a thriving business with a continuous improvement culture and new diverse customers within each business line. By forging strong partnerships with customers, revenues and profit increased, costs were contained, and services reimagined and significantly expanded.
Corina is passionate about businesses that progress rural Canada and increase economic prosperity to the region. She developed and implemented an integrated rail freight, rail passenger, and motor coach transportation network that connect people and businesses throughout North America.

Under her leadership, Northeastern passenger rail was approved connecting Toronto to the Far North, Ontario Northland’s bus line was expanded across Ontario and into Manitoba, and new rail freight customers were added through innovative transloads and container services.
