CNH Industrial, parent of Case Construction Equipment, has announced two leadership team appointments for its spin-off on-highway business.
Following the announcement of Gerrit Marx as CEO, the first senior leadership team appointments are for Operations and Powertrain, effective October 1: Annalisa Stupenengo and Sylvain Blaise.
Annalisa Stupenengo will assume global responsibility for Operations, directly overseeing all activities related to manufacturing, quality, logistics, and purchasing of the on-highway business. Stupenengo has extensive international experience gained through roles of increasing responsibility within CNH Industrial and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (now Stel-lantis). She currently serves as president Powertrain, overseeing all Powertrain business activities and the FPT Industrial brand within CNH Industrial.
“I am delighted that Annalisa has accepted a new challenge within the On-Highway organization," Marx said. "Her strong leadership and in-depth knowledge of our businesses will prove fundamental in managing our core industrial operations. I look forward to working closely with her as we embark on this new journey, post-spin from CNH Industrial.”
Sylvain Blaise will assume responsibility for the Powertrain Business Unit within the new company. Blaise has some 20 years’ experience within the Group having worked in varied businesses, including Agriculture, across different geographies in Europe and North America. He was appointed IVECO Bus Brand President in 2014 and Head of the entire Bus Business Unit in 2019, successfully repositioning the Brand.
“The passion and drive that Sylvain put into the increasing success of the Bus Business Unit will serve us well in the new role, ensuring that FPT Industrial will continue to successfully overcome the future challenges in the powertrain space,” Marx said.
