Goodyear has appointed Jason J. Winkler, Chief Financial Officer at Motorola Solutions, to its Board of Directors effective 15 May 2025. The move signals a continued focus on financial discipline and corporate governance as the company progresses with its Goodyear Forward transformation plan.
Winkler will serve on Goodyear’s Audit Committee and the Committee on Corporate Responsibility and Compliance. His appointment reflects Goodyear’s intent to enhance board-level financial stewardship and oversight as it works to expand margins, reduce leverage, and optimise its global portfolio.
Goodyear Chairman Laurette T. Koellner noted Winkler’s “extensive global finance leadership” as a key asset for the company’s ongoing strategic evolution.
Winkler brings over two decades of experience from Motorola Solutions, where he currently leads finance, supply chain, and IT operations. His career spans roles in investor relations, global channels, M&A, and operational finance. His tenure has included major structural changes that delivered sustained profit growth and shareholder value.
Before Motorola, Winkler held finance roles at Oracle and what is now AON. He holds an MBA from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.
As Goodyear reshapes its corporate structure under the Goodyear Forward strategy, Winkler’s addition reflects the growing importance of cross-sector financial leadership in the tyre sector. His background in tech and supply chain management aligns with trends in tyre manufacturing automation, cost optimisation, and digital transformation across the industry.
