Thor Industries, Inc. announced the retirement of Wilson Jones from its Board of Directors, effective Dec. 15, 2023, after nine years of service.
Jones devoted most of his professional career to Oshkosh Corp., a leading designer, manufacturer and marketer of specialty vehicles and vehicle bodies. He joined Oshkosh in 2005 and held senior leadership positions in the fire and emergency segment and access equipment segment before being named president and CEO in January 2016. Jones retired as CEO and board member in April 2021.
Jones joined Thor’s Board of Directors in 2014. The company said he provided consistent and able counsel. Most recently, he served as chairman of the Compensation and Development Committee and a member of the Environmental, Social, Governance and Nomination Committee.
Board Chairman Andy Graves said: “Thor Industries has been very fortunate to have Wilson serve on our board for the last nine years. All of us who have worked with Wilson on Thor’s Board of Directors have benefited from his leadership and his commitment to the company. His extensive knowledge of the specialty vehicles industry, and financial and management expertise helped guide Thor’s incredible performance. We extend our gratitude and best wishes to Wilson upon his retirement.”
Bob Martin, Thor CEO, said: “Wilson has played an influential role on our board of directors for nine years, helping guide our company through periods of growth unparalleled in the industry. Wilson’s leadership and collaboration on the board will be greatly missed and we are deeply grateful for the significant contributions he has made.”
Thor’s board has engaged a search firm to identify and retain a suitable replacement. A replacement is expected to be named during the first quarter of 2024.
