Ryan Waldron heading Goodyear’s North America consumer business

Ryan Waldron will lead The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company’s consumer business in the North America region. Formerly vice president of Goodyear Global Off-Highway, Waldron will assume the role of president, Goodyear North America Consumer.

Goodyear considers Waldron to have been a key architect in the development of many of its go-to-market strategies. As the leader of Goodyear’s Global Off-Highway business, Waldron led the aviation, OTR and chemical teams through the extraordinary challenges of the pandemic while driving sustained earnings growth.

“I have every confidence that Ryan will elevate our team and unlock the full potential of our consumer business,” says Steve McClellan, president, Goodyear Americas. “He’s known for bringing multidisciplinary teams together to identify new opportunities, create industry-leading transformation and capture growth.”

Goodyear will name Waldron’s successor in Global Off-Highway at a future date.
