“Rich’s contributions during his tenure as president have driven improved performance and innovation for the business in North America,” Park said in a statement. “I would like to take this opportunity to thank Rich for his dedication to the company and congratulate him on a distinguished career. We wish Rich and his wife, Cindy, all the best on his retirement and this next phase of life.”
Goldsbury retires with more than 30 years of industry experience ranging across general management, marketing, operations, finance, engineering, product portfolio management, aftermarket, and mergers and acquisitions.
