Keith Creel (born 1968)[1] is an American-Canadian, and is the president and chief executive officer of Canadian Pacific Kansas City.
[2] In 1996 he joined the Illinois Central Railroad, which later merged with Canadian National Railway (CN), and in 1999 became general manager of the Michigan Zone within the Midwest Division of Grand Trunk Western (GTW).
[4] Creel moved to Canadian Pacific Railway, as President and Chief Operating Officer, in early 2013.
[10][11] The Canadian Pacific and Kansas City Southern Railroad (CPKC) merged in April 2023 to form the only single line rail entity connecting the US, Canada and Mexico.
The success of this merger, experts say, resulted in increased compensation packages for the company’s top executives.
