CNH Industrial appointed Parag Garg chief digital officer and Marc Kermisch chief information officer for its off highway business. This follows the appointment of Kevin Barr as chief human resources officer in March.

“I am delighted to welcome Parag, Marc and Kevin, who are seasoned professionals in their respective fields and bring a wealth of experience across a broad spectrum of industries to CNH Industrial,” Scott Wine, CEO of CNH Industrial, said. “Kevin’s extensive leadership experience in the industrial equipment industry will be instrumental as we align our organization and enhance our culture to become more customer- and dealer-centric. Parag will spearhead our crucial digital technology efforts, leading the charge to accelerate precision agriculture/construction into a competitive advantage. And Marc will champion improvements to our information technology infrastructure, security and end-user accessibility, providing a robust framework for future growth. He will work closely with Stefano Firenze, co-CIO, to prepare for the spin of our on-highway business. These appointments bolster our strong senior leadership team and will hasten our progress toward becoming a more customer and dealer-centric organization.”
