Jason Bewley, a former executive with AirTran Airways and Universal Orlando, has been named CFO of All Aboard Florida, a passenger railroad planned for downtown Miami to Orlando, with a possible eventual Tampa station.
The railroad project, privately owned and operated with no public subsidies, is a unit of Coral Gables-based Florida East Coast Industries. It was announced in early 2012, and estimated to cost at least $1 billion.
“The addition of Jason Bewley as chief financial officer is another major step forward as we continue building All Aboard Florida's leadership team,” FECI President and CEO Vincent Signorello says in a release. “As the project moves into the construction and operation phases, Jason will provide financial leadership to the nation's first privately funded and operated passenger rail service.”
Bewley was responsible for strategic planning and analysis, yield and route profitability, and fuel hedging strategy in his nine years at AirTran, the company says. He also held an executive position at World Fuel Services, a Fortune 100 company in fuel logistics. Bewley was also a member of the finance management team at Universal Orlando.
