DALLAS, July 1, 2024 -- Flix North America Inc., the entity overseeing operations for both FlixBus and Greyhound across North America, today announced the appointment of Scott MacDonald as chief financial officer, effective immediately. In his role, MacDonald will be responsible for financial planning and analysis, accounting, treasury, tax, corporate risk management and internal audits, and procurement. He will report to Kadir “Kai” Boysan, chief executive officer of Flix North America.
MacDonald brings over 20 years of broad financial leadership experience in global companies, including in the transportation industry. Most recently, he served as vice president of financial planning and analysis at XPO Logistics, where he played a key role in executing spinoffs of two business segments into publicly traded companies and built forecasting processes driving improvement in financial and operational performance.
Prior to that, MacDonald spent 15 years at General Electric holding several senior finance leadership positions across GE Corporate, Commercial Real Estate, and the Corporate Audit Staff. MacDonald holds a degree in Finance and Entrepreneurship from Babson College.
“We welcome Scott to Flix and look forward to further strengthening our robust finance function under his leadership,” said Boysan. “Our North American business has seen solid growth to date, and Scott’s extensive experience and strategic vision will be instrumental as we continue to execute our strategy for profitable growth. I am thrilled to see that Flix continues to attract top talent.”
Flix has been operating in the United States since 2018. In 2021, the company acquired Greyhound Lines, an iconic intercity bus service provider, further expanding its reach, including in Canada and Mexico. The transformation and integration of operations are well underway, driving growth and profitability in the market.
