“I am pleased to announce that today we have selected Darren Kettle to serve as our next CEO,” said
Metrolink Board Chair and Glendale Councilman Ara Najarian.
“Darren’s breadth of leadership experience includes executive roles in three of our five member counties. From the inland areas to the coastal communities of Ventura County, Darren’s transformative vision and passion for public transportation will well serve Metrolink as the agency continues to meet the needs of and provide more opportunities to Southern Californians.”
Kettle served for 14 years as executive director of VCTC, which is one of the agencies that makes up the joint powers authority that governs Metrolink.
