Women in Rail Trustee Story Spotlight – Gary Smithson Morson Talent
We are excited to share our next Trustee Story, Gary Smithson.
Gary’s journey reminds us that being an ally isn’t just about words, it’s about action, reflection and a commitment to equity.
In his story, Gary opens up about:
His personal path to becoming an active ally in rail.
Why imposter syndrome isn’t exclusive to women, men experience it too, and talking about it helps break stigma.
How his daughter continually inspires him to challenge stereotypes and drive positive change across the industry.
His role as a trustee and what it means to him personally.
Gary’s perspective is a powerful reminder that equity in rail is about all of us working together, learning from each other, and creating an industry where everyone can thrive.
