REV Group, a manufacturer of specialty vehicles, appointed its current CFO Mark Skonieczny interim CEO after Rod Rushing stepped down as president, CEO and a member of the board of directors.

“On behalf of the board of directors, I want to thank Rod for his dedication and contributions to REV Group over the past three years,” Paul Bamatter, chairman of the board of directors at REV Group, said. “During his tenure, Rod has played an important role in positioning REV Group for long-term success, while leading the company through a challenging period that included COVID-19, rapidly rising inflation, and supply chain disruptions. We wish him all the best.”

Skonieczny will join the REV Group board of directors, effective immediately, and remain CFO. He will serve as interim CEO until the role is permanently filled.

Prior to joining REV Group, Skonieczny held positions as vice president and corporate controller of Adient PLC and spent 17 years at Johnson Controls in a variety of financial roles including vice president of corporate development, vice president of finance, global aftermarket-power solutions, vice president of finance, Middle East, Latin America and NA systems-building efficiency and assistant corporate controller.

“Mark has been a valuable member of the REV leadership team since joining the company in June 2020,” Bamatter said. “The board is confident that his extensive experience, existing deep knowledge of the REV business, and operational experience will further enable REV to accelerate its transformation.”

“I appreciate the opportunity to serve as interim CEO and I’m committed to working closely with the board and our strong management team to drive improved operational performance and financial results,” Skonieczny said. “We have many opportunities ahead and I look forward to engaging with the Company’s customers, employees, shareholders and other stakeholders throughout the coming weeks.”
