Caterpillar‘s Services, Distribution and Digital (SD&D) segment is restructuring its distribution divisions to better serve its global customer and dealer base.
To that end, Caterpillar has announced several changes in responsibilities for current vice presidents. The company’s board of directors also appointed a new vice president. All moves are effective January 1, 2019.
“By concentrating our distribution support into three distinct regions, we are better able to support our dealers and customers around the world,” explains SD&D Group President Bob De Lange. “Our leaders will provide the expertise and focused local resources to support our dealers in offering the products, solutions and services our customers deserve.”
Raymond Chan, who was first named a vice president in 2015 and currently has responsibility for the Asia Pacific, CIS, Africa & Middle East Distribution Services Division, will now oversee the Asia Pacific Distribution Services Division.
Phil Kelliher will transition from the vice president of the Americas and Europe Distribution Services Division to the vice president of the Americas Distribution Services Division. Kelliher has been a Caterpillar vice president since 2015.
Nigel Lewis, currently vice president of Global Aftermarket Solutions Division, will now have responsibility for the Europe, Africa and Middle East Distribution Services Division. Lewis became a Caterpillar vice president in 2012.
