Cooper Tire & Rubber Co. promoted Brian Anderson to director of financial planning and analysis. Anderson succeeds Craig Durliat, who recently became director of credit for the North American tire organization.

In his new role, Anderson will coordinate and consolidate global business plans and create the North American tire operations financial plans. He will also partner with marketing and pricing to ensure strong customer relationships, and will oversee commercial analysis, working closely with sourcing, purchasing and manufacturing in all regions, the company said.

Anderson joined Cooper in 2009 and most recently served as financial accounting manager for North American tire operations and for global consolidations. Prior to joining Cooper, he worked as operations accounting manager at Calphalon Corp., a division of Newell Rubbermaid. He brings a wealth of financial knowledge and leadership experience to his new role, as well as a solid understanding of continuous improvement methodologies, Cooper said.
