Jonathan Randall has been named president of Mack Trucks North America, effective Dec. 1.
He will report to Martin Weissburg, global president of Mack Trucks and chairman of Volvo Group North America. (Mack Trucks is part of the Volvo Group.)
Randall joined Mack in 2016 as senior vice president – North American sales and served most recently as senior vice president – North American sales and commercial operations.
He has more than 25 years of commercial vehicle experience, with original equipment manufacturer (OEM) leadership positions in truck sales, product marketing, truck leasing and aftermarket parts and service. That included more than 12 years at Daimler Trucks North America, with shorter stints at Blue Bird Corp., Wrightspeed Inc., and Hines Specialty Vehicle Group.
“Jonathan is a proven leader who is passionate about working with our dealers and customers to grow Mack’s business as we introduce new services and products to the North American market,” said Weissburg.
Randall, who has a bachelor’s degree from Colorado State University, will continue to be based at the company’s headquarters in Greensboro, North Carolina.
During a recent press event, Randall hinted that the Volvo Group is planning a $2 billion investment in North America for new products.
“We're excited for what that is going to bring to us,” he said.
