}}Richard H. Anderson (born May 2, 1955) is an American business executive who currently serves as President and Chief Executive Officer of Amtrak. Anderson previously worked in the aviation industry, including tenures as CEO of Northwest Airlines and Delta Air Lines.[2][3]

Early life and education

Anderson was born in Galveston, Texas, to Hale Anderson, an office worker for the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway, and Frances Anderson, a medical receptionist. His family, which also included five sisters, moved to Dallas and later Amarillo, Texas. His parents died of cancer when Richard was 20 years old.[4]

Anderson attended Texas Tech University and the University of Houston, graduating from the latter in 1977 with a degree in political science. He earned a law degree in 1982 from the South Texas College of Law before working as a prosecutor for the district attorney office of Harris County, Texas.[4]

Career

Anderson entered the aviation industry after accepting a legal position at Continental Airlines and served as the airline's representative during the investigation of Continental Airlines Flight 1713 in 1987.[4] Anderson, who had never considered a career in the aviation industry, accepted the position at the urging of Ben Hirst, a neighbor who worked at Continental as a legal counsel.[5]

Hirst and Anderson left Continental for Northwest Airlines in 1990, with the latter serving as a deputy general counsel for the airline.[4] At Northwest, Anderson was initially charged with labor relations and government affairs. Despite having no experience in airline operations, he was named senior vice president of technical operations and airport affairs.[6][7] Anderson was promoted to CEO of Northwest Airlines in June 2001 after the departure of John Dasburg.

Prior to his role at Amtrak, Anderson served as Chief Executive of Delta Air Lines from 2007 to 2016, as CEO of Northwest Airlines from 2001 to 2004, which would later merge with Delta, and Executive Vice President of United Healthcare from 2004 to 2007.[8][9]

On February 3, 2016, Delta Air Lines announced Anderson would retire as CEO effective May 2, 2016 and assume position as Executive Chairman of the Delta Air Lines board of directors.[10] On October 11, 2016, Anderson announced his retirement from the Board of Directors effective on the same day. He was succeeded by former Chairman and CEO of The Home Depot, Francis Blake.[11]

In June 2017, Amtrak announced Anderson as the organization's next President and CEO, replacing Charles "Wick" Moorman.[12] Anderson assumed the title of President on July 12, 2017. Anderson also assumed the role of co-CEO on that date, serving alongside Moorman. Anderson remained co-CEO with Moorman until the end of 2017, at which time he assumed the role of sole CEO.

Awards and honors

Anderson was named Aviation Week's Person of the Year for 2015.[13] In 2013, he was the recipient of the Tony Jannus Award for distinguished achievement in commercial air transportation.
