Flix North America Inc., which oversees operations for FlixBus and Greyhound across North America, announced the appointment of Scott MacDonald as chief financial officer on July 1.
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, CEO of Flix North America.
MacDonald brings over 20 years of financial leadership experience in global companies, including the transportation industry. He most recently 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 to improve financial and operational performance.
Before 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. He 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.”
Flix has been operating in the United States since 2018. In 2021, the company acquired Greyhound Lines, the legacy intercity bus service provider, expanding its reach as far as Canada and Mexico.
