Transdev Welcomes Stuart Summers as Vice President, Marketing & Communications
Transdev is pleased to welcome Stuart G. Summers as its new Vice President, Marketing & Communications, effective April 27, 2026. Summers brings more than 20 years of experience helping large public organizations strengthen their brands, navigate complex issues, and build meaningful connections with the communities they serve.

He began his career as a television news anchor and reporter and spent two years teaching English at a university in Mongolia, which helped him shape his clear, people-centered approach to storytelling.
With Transdev, Summers will guide the company’s marketing and communications strategy across the United States, reporting directly to Chief Executive Officer Laura Hendricks. In this role, he will advance brand visibility, deepen stakeholder engagement, and support Transdev’s purpose of delivering safe, reliable, and innovative mobility solutions.
