Siemens today announced that Daryl Dulaney has been appointed chief executive officer of the company's newly-formed Infrastructure & Cities (IC) Sector in North America, which comprises the United States, Canada, Mexico and Central America.

Dulaney also will continue to serve as president and chief executive officer of Siemens Industry, Inc., the legal entity comprising both the Infrastructure & Cities and Industry Sectors in the United States.

The IC Sector will be organized into five divisions:

• Building Technologies
• Low and Medium Voltage (power distribution for utilities and facilities)
• Mobility and Logistics (traffic, transport and logistics management)
• Rail Systems (rail vehicles)
• Smart Grid (intelligent power grids).

Under this new structure, the divisions will not only continue to serve their established customer base, but also more closely align their respective businesses with their target markets, enabling Siemens to bundle its solutions for mobility, environmental protection and energy savings into one comprehensive offering.

"Cities face challenges of providing safe, comfortable and sustainable environments that enable a high quality of life for citizens and that make them attractive to businesses," says  Dulaney. "The new sector is well positioned, with 87,000 employees worldwide and the most comprehensive portfolio in the market, to minimize those challenges by delivering solutions to city halls, utilities and transportation authorities to make them more competitive and sustainable for the future."
