BATON ROUGE – Gov. Jeff Landry has appointed Andrew Kilshaw as Commissioner of the Office of Multimodal Commerce. Established in 2016, the office works within DOTD to strengthen Louisiana’s multimodal transportation network and enhance the state’s position as a key hub for industry. 

 

“As someone who has spent my career focused on infrastructure, I’m honored to take on this new role under Governor Landry’s leadership,” said Andrew Kilshaw. “Louisiana’s prosperity depends on a strong, connected transportation system—one that efficiently links our ports, railways, highways and airports. I’m committed to advancing that mission to ensure Louisiana remains a leader in multimodal commerce.”

 

“Andrew knows what it takes to keep Louisiana moving. He understands that when our ports, highways, rail, and airports work together, our whole economy benefits. I’m confident he’ll do a great job,” said Gov. Landry.


Background:

A lifelong resident of Baton Rouge, Kilshaw brings extensive experience in public policy, infrastructure, and economic development at the local, state and congressional levels. He succeeds DOTD Deputy Secretary Julia Fisher-Cormier, who previously served as OMC commissioner.

His multimodal experience includes managing operations for the Louisiana Ports and Waterways Investment Commission, where he helped broker the first unified marketing strategy for the state’s five lower Mississippi River ports. Kilshaw also helped shape passenger and freight rail policy as a member of the Southern Rail Commission.
