After a nine-month search, Goodyear has hired Christopher Curran as the new vice president of public relations and communications for its North American Tire business.
Curran, 45, comes to Goodyear from ServiceMaster Co., where he was director of communications and issues management.
Curran replaces Ed Markey, who previously held that post and was named Goodyear vice president of corporate communications in March 2011.
