Background

About Daniel Schwarz

With over 20 years of working experience, I graduated as Civil Engineer and completed my M.Sc. in Transport at University of Chile. I joined Dornier as a senior consultant in 2020, working in the development of feasibility, operational, economic and policy studies in the transport sector, especially in the areas of railways and public transport. Before joining Dornier, I directed for more than 8 years the studies department at Metro de Santiago de Chile, conducting strategic studies related to the development of the underground and integrated public transport system for Santiago de Chile. During this assignment I represented Metro in the worldwide CoMet (Community of Metros) benchmarking group. In 2016, I also acted as interim deputy manager of Metro de Santiago’s international business development team, seeking to transfer Metro´s vast experience within the Latin American market. Between 2008 and 2011, for the German company IVU Traffic Technologies AG I supported the implementation of IT systems to assist public transport companies´ operation activities: planning, dispatching, fleet management, ticketing and passenger information. Activities performed mainly in Germany, UAE and Latin-America. Prior to 2008 I gained extensive experience in the Planning Ministry (SECTRA) in Santiago de Chile supporting the authorities in the development of the urban transport system, directing and coordinating transport projects and policy-related studies.
