“Hartasuma walks with pride as the Hartasuma-Bombardier Consortium has
evolved into a dynamic partnership built on trust and long-term allegiance.
We received the 2018 Bombardier Transportation HSE Award. The technology
transfer invested in Offset Programmes is our path to nation-building.”- Ravindran Menon, Executive Director of Hartasuma
“Governments are shifting their focus towards urban
planning and sustainability. The priority is now to improve
the quality of life for residents by better connecting them
with economic centres, urban areas, tourist destinations,
schools, universities and health care, while also easing
traffic congestion.”
At the moment, more than 100,000 Bombardier trains
are serving cities across the world. Headquartered in Berlin,
Germany, Bombardier Transportation employs around
39,000 people and its products and services operate in more
than 60 countries. For Jay, it’s easy for him to be passionate
about the role; Bombardier’s vision is to create innovative
solutions to redefine the way people move within cities
and between them.
“Today’s world is defined by mobility, and its demand
is growing,” says Jay. “We’ve been contributing to the
region’s growth for the past 30 years by transforming
its public transportation network, and we’re changing
the way we work. We’re shifting towards investing in the
region’s rail engineering and supply chain, because rail
networks are highly complex systems that require
deep engineering expertise.”
Jay, who is originally from Singapore, has a wealth of
experience in the field working with Bombardier for the
past 11 years. He contributed to projects such as the London
Underground as Deputy Project Director before moving to
Head of Sales, Marketing and Business Development for
Asia–Pacific and Head of South-East Asia. In April 2019, he
was appointed Head of Project Management for South-East
Asia and Australia and Head of Services for South-East Asia,
as well as chief representative for customer and government
relations in South-East Asia.
“Being a strategic partner to rail authorities and
operators, what is Bombardier’s differentiator? Performance.”
says Jay. “We’re helping cities grow, and moving people safely
while developing economies.” In the past three decades,“WE LOOK FAR
AHEAD TO SEE AND
SHAPE THE FUTURE
OF MOBILITY.”
