Torrellas has led major digital transformation initiatives across mobility, buildings, energy, and water infrastructures. His passion for cities and infrastructure began after successfully designing, integrating, and delivering a Public Address and Customer Information system for New York City’s subway – a mega project that included the train he rode as a child.   

“I am incredibly excited to have become a Cube and serve as a leader to this amazing team; we are looking forward to working with our customers to serve millions of their riders around the world at this pivotal moment in Cubic’s storied journey – our future is filled with growth and an opportunity to transform our industry,” said Torrellas.
