With its massive plant expansion and construction announcement, Bridgestone Americas made some position changes to best manage the process.
Steve Brooks, previously vice president of information technology, was named chief project officer, a new position created specifically to lead the construction and start-up of Bridgestone Americas’ new radial OTR tire plant in Graniteville, S.C.
Diane Drum was hired as the company’s new vice president of information technology, succeeding Brooks. She had been vice president and CIO at Gerdau Ameristeel in Florida.
