Mathias Carlbaum, 48, has been appointed the new President and CEO of Navistar, effective September 1, 2021, succeeding Persio Lisboa, who held the position since July of 2020.
Lisboa, who will retire after a short transition period, was “instrumental in returning Navistar to profitability and launching and executing a solid strategy called Navistar 4.0.”
Until the end of March 2021, Carlbaum had been the Executive Vice-president of Commercial Operations with Scania CV AB, most recently leading the post-merger management of Navistar on behalf of Traton Group.
“Mathias Carlbaum is an internationally-experienced manager with the right skills and mindset to lead Navistar into this new era as part of Traton Group,” said Matthias Grundlere, CEO of Traton SE. “I am welcoming Mathias in his new responsibility. A great thanks goes to Persio Lisboa for his great support before, during and after the merger.”
With its brands Scania, MAN, Volkswagen Caminhões e Ônibus, Navistar, and RIO, TRATON SE is one of the world's leading commercial vehicle manufacturers. Its range includes light-duty commercial vehicles, trucks and buses. The company seeks to reinvent transportation with its products, services, and as a partner to its customers.
