Titan International announced a significant reshuffle of its executive leadership team on December 4 2025. The company promoted former Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer David Martin to Senior Vice President and Chief Transformation Officer, a newly created role that will oversee enterprise‑wide transformation initiatives, including AI adoption and risk management. Tony Eheli, previously Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, was elevated to Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, while Jim Pach was promoted to Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer.
The move reflects Titan’s intent to accelerate its digital transformation agenda and strengthen financial discipline. In a statement, President and CEO Paul Reitz said the appointments “will increase bandwidth to accelerate achievement of our strategic objectives and deliver sustainable value to our shareholders.” The new Chief Transformation Officer role is designed to drive AI integration across all business segments—Agriculture, Earthmoving/Construction, and Consumer—while the CFO transition ensures continuity in financial governance during a period of rapid growth and integration of the Carlstar acquisition.
Titan’s recent financial performance underscores the timing of the reshuffle. In Q3 2025, the company reported revenue of $2.89 billion, up 4% year‑over‑year, driven by a 7% increase in the Agriculture segment and a 12% rise in the Consumer segment, offset by a 3% decline in the Earthmoving/Construction segment. Operating income rose to $1.15 billion, a 5% increase, reflecting disciplined cost management and a 2% improvement in operating margin. The company’s guidance for the full year 2025 was raised to $4.40 billion–$4.41 billion in revenue and $2.15 billion–$2.16 billion in operating income, up from $4.14 billion–$4.15 billion and $2.10 billion–$2.11 billion, respectively.
The creation of the Chief Transformation Officer role signals a strategic pivot toward technology‑driven growth. Titan’s leadership has highlighted AI as a key lever for improving operational efficiency and customer experience. The new role will coordinate AI initiatives across product development, supply chain optimization, and customer service, aiming to unlock an estimated $200 million in annual cost savings and a 3% lift in revenue growth over the next three years. The CFO transition is expected to maintain financial stability as the company integrates Carlstar’s consumer portfolio, which contributed $350 million in revenue in Q3 2025 and is projected to grow at 15% annually.
Management emphasized that the reshuffle is part of a broader transformation plan that includes a $1.5 billion investment in digital platforms and a $500 million reduction in debt over the next 12 months. The company’s debt‑to‑EBITDA ratio fell from 1.8x in Q2 2025 to 1.5x in Q3 2025, reflecting disciplined capital allocation. The new leadership structure is designed to sustain this momentum while ensuring rigorous risk management and governance.
Overall, the executive changes position Titan to capitalize on emerging opportunities in AI and digital transformation, while reinforcing its financial stewardship. The appointments are expected to enhance operational agility, strengthen the company’s competitive position across all segments, and support the long‑term growth strategy outlined in the company’s 2025 guidance.
