VOLVO Construction Equipment has announced a number of changes to its executive management team, with three senior appointments.
As the new head of Volvo CE region North America, Scott Young will continue to oversee the strategic direction of one of the largest markets for construction equipment and will be responsible for meeting customers’ diverse needs. He has assumed the role from Stephen Roy who recently took on a new position within the Volvo Group executive board as president of Mack Trucks.
Mats Sköldberg, meanwhile, will replace Thomas Bitter as the new head of technology, leading the development and delivery of Volvo CE’s global technology strategy and continuing the company’s journey into electromobility, connectivity and automation. Thomas Bitter will be heading up the recently announced compact business unit.
Jay Parker, already head of digital and IT for Volvo CE since 2020, will also be joining the executive management team. His appointment on the board is designed to bring the company’s digital transformation into renewed focus, demonstrating the increased need for digitalisation across every aspect of the business.
In addition to this, Joakim Arndorw has been appointed as the new head of Volvo CE sales region International. Joakim is currently MD for Swecon Anläggningsmaskiner, the retail operations for Volvo CE in Sweden.
Melker Jernberg, head of Volvo CE, said, “Our leadership team will be greatly strengthened with the addition of Scott, Mats and Jay, as they join during a significant time of change for our industry. With their diverse experience, cross-functional understanding and genuine passion, I have no doubt we will continue to lead our company’s sustainable transformation going forward.”
