Ponton has been vice president of Goodyear’s retail business. The tiremaker hired Scott Vogel, president of Valvoline Instant Oil Change, to replace Ponton in that role. “Both of these leaders will further build our capabilities in our North American consumer business,” said Larry Mason, president of Goodyear’s North American Consumer Tires unit. “Brett has done an outstanding job in leading the retail business, and will bring extensive customer and retail perspective to our overall marketing efforts.”At the same time, we are fortunate to recruit someone of Scott’s ability into our retail operation. He has an extensive consumer products background and successful retail experience. His track record of success in service and brand-building will continue growth in Goodyear retail.” Both Ponton and Vogel will report to Mason.
