CNH announces Global Leadership Team
changes
Basildon, December 16, 2024
CNH (NYSE: CNH) today announces leadership
changes designed to capitalize on current market opportunities in
its Agriculture business in the North America and Europe, Middle
East and Africa (EMEA) regions. These developments will support the
Company at this stage of the agricultural cycle, readying it for
the upswing.
Scott Harris will assume the role of President,
North America, effective January 1, 2025. Markus Müller will join
CNH as President, EMEA, effective March 1, 2025. The Company has
selected these two new regional leaders based on their extensive
experience and capabilities. Their leadership will be instrumental
in executing CNH’s strategic goals and driving success in these
regions.
With this announcement, Vilmar Fistarol is
stepping down as President, North America, effective December 31,
2024, and he will remain in an advisory role with CNH during H1
2025. Furthermore, Carlo Alberto Sisto is stepping down as
President, EMEA, with immediate effect.
North America leadership
North America is a core region, offering
significant opportunities for CNH’s most advanced products,
technologies and services. Scott Harris brings multifaceted
experience across the Company’s agricultural operations, and is
currently the Global Brand President of Case IH and STEYR. In North
America, he has led both the Financial Services business – CNH
Capital – and the Parts & Service division. Scott Harris has
also helmed our CASE Construction Equipment, New Holland
Construction and Case IH brands in the region. Across these
leadership roles, he has gained intimate knowledge of our Case IH
and New Holland brands, their dealer networks, and customers across
the region.
EMEA leadership
Agriculture in the EMEA region is dynamic and
diverse, requiring a wide range of specialized solutions. CNH’s
portfolio is ideally placed to increasingly serve this region
across its different geographies and farm types. Starting March 1,
2025, Markus Müller will join CNH as President, EMEA.
Mr. Müller arrives from the global engine
manufacturer DEUTZ AG, and brings with him a wealth of relevant
industrial and commercial experience. He was most recently Chief
Technology and Chief Sales Officer, alongside serving as an
Executive Board Member. He began his career at DEUTZ AG in 2006
where prior to his most recent appointment, he served as Senior
Vice President of Product Development & Technical Customer
Support, preceded by leadership roles in Research &
Development. From 2016 – 2018, Mr. Müller was Managing Director of
HJS Emission Technology, where he was responsible for Product
Development, Operations and Sales.
Stefano Pampalone, Agriculture Chief Commercial
Officer, will assume the role of President, EMEA, ad interim, in
addition to his current responsibility until February 28. Mr.
Pampalone and Mr. Müller will work together over the coming months
to ensure a smooth transition in the leadership of the EMEA region
and its agriculture activities.
“Vilmar is stepping down as President, North
America at the end of 2024 after 34 years of outstanding service,
having positively impacted many areas of our business across our
global regions. He hands over the reins to Scott, who is the
natural choice to lead North America,” said Gerrit Marx, Chief
Executive Officer at CNH.
“I would like to warmly thank Carlo for his 26
years of committed service during which he has spearheaded
significant developments across our regions, most recently having
taken the helm of EMEA post-COVID and navigating a challenging
phase of the agriculture cycle. In Stefano, we have an experienced
leader who will ensure a smooth transition until Markus’s arrival
on March 1. We are excited to welcome Markus to the CNH team and
confident that his extensive industrial and commercial experience
will drive significant progress across the EMEA region,” said Mr.
Marx.
