Volvo Penta Americas recently announced that its president, Ron Huibers, is retiring. Volvo’s current CFO and SVP, Business Office of Volvo Penta Martin Bjuve will take over the role on January 1, 2020. Huibers will transition to a senior advisor role.
“With 26 years of distinguished leadership across Volvo Group at Volvo Penta, Volvo and Mack Trucks, Volvo Finance and Volvo Construction Equipment, Ron’s skills and experience developing business, teams and partnerships have paid dividends to the company and stakeholders,” says Bjorn Ingemanson, president and CEO of Volvo Penta.
“The team, customers and industries we serve here have been exciting and rewarding. This role has been the best of my long career,” Huibers says. “I am thankful to have worked with great leaders and teams and establish stronger partnerships. However, as we have planned, I want to spend more time with my family that has been difficult to balance given the travel demands of being president. The time is right to hand over the baton as the Americas continues into the next stage of its journey.”
