Chandgie named COO of Yokohama Tire Corp.

Yokohama Tire Corporation has promoted Stan Chandgie, who is currently EVP of Sales & Support, to the position of Chief Operating Officer. Chandgie begins in this role on 1 April 2024 and will add marketing, tyre business planning, and supply chain/logistics to his existing remit of overseeing consumer and commercial sales. He will report to Jeff Barna, President and CEO of Yokohama Rubber’s North American manufacturing and sales business.

“Since joining Yokohama, Stan has led YTC to an impressive string of record sales results with corresponding market share gains,” says Barna. “His commitment to exceeding customer expectations is only surpassed by his passion for his people and his relentless pursuit to leverage Yokohama’s culture as a true business differentiator. In his new role, I expect Stan to continue driving a continuous improvement agenda affording YTC the ability to further enhance customer intimacy and market share growth.”

Prior to joining Yokohama in 2019, Chandgie held executive sales, marketing and service roles at Michelin and Exide Technologies.
