Sound Transit named Nadia Anderson as its chief strategy officer, a new position created to guide the agency's approach to the technological, environmental, and economic future of the region. Anderson joins at a time of growing momentum for the agency, which is continuing to build on three recent light rail openings as part of the largest expansion of transit service in the United States. In her role, Anderson will oversee the Government and Community Relations; Communications, Marketing and Engagement; Board Administration; and ORCA ROOT teams. She will also oversee two new divisions: Innovation and Transformation; and Strategic Planning, Policy and Programs. Anderson previously served as the chief of staff and senior vice president of policy strategy and operations at the Silicon Valley Leadership Group. Anderson holds a doctorate in urban affairs and public policy from the University of Delaware and is also a graduate of Virginia State University (M.A.) and the University of Virginia (B.A). Sound Transit's next Link light rail extension is slated to open to downtown Redmond this spring, followed by connections across Lake Washington later this year and to Federal Way in 2026.
