Tuesday, 19 Mar, 2024 0

Rocky Mountaineer is looking to the new generation as the luxury train operator celebrates its 34^th year.

As a family-owned business, Rocky Mountaineer welcomes Tristan Armstrong, son of Founder Peter Armstrong, as new chief executive officer.

“Rocky Mountaineer is a life-long passion for both me and my family. So to become the CEO and build on this family legacy is truly an honour,” said Tristan Armstrong.

“I look forward to being even more involved in connecting with our partners, and delivering an exceptional service for our guests.”

The younger Armstrong has served on the Board of Directors since 2016.

He previously worked in numerous roles on Rocky Mountaineer’s operations and guest experience teams, gaining experience in guest service, maintenance, and hospitality.

He is also the president and CEO of Major Rock Corporation, a family office operated by the Armstrong family.

It includes businesses in the hospitality, real estate and private equity sectors.

“Tristan’s appointment demonstrates our family’s commitment to those who mean the most to us — those who assisted in building Rocky Mountaineer into a tourism icon,” said Peter Armstrong.

“With Tristan as CEO, and (his sisters) Ashley and Chelsea serving on the Board of Directors, I am immensely proud to have the second generation leading Rocky Mountaineer forward.”

Rocky Mountaineer is recruiting for a president/COO to provide day-to-day operational oversight.

This role will work closely with Tristan Armstrong as he focuses on longer-term growth and strategic direction.
