Richard J. Kramer — Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President at Goodyear
Executive Bio
Rich Kramer is Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company. He became CEO in 2010 and was elected Chairman by Goodyear’s Board of Directors later the same year.
Kramer’s tenure as CEO – now the second longest in company history – has coincided with an inflection point in transportation that has led to the evolution of Goodyear into a technology-driven mobility company. While it continues to supply customers with a portfolio of high-quality tires and services, Goodyear has established itself as a leader in providing services, tools, analytics and products for evolving modes of transportation, including electric vehicles, autonomous vehicles and fleets of shared and connected consumer vehicles.
Since 2017, Kramer also increased Goodyear’s leadership in mobility of the future. In 2017, Goodyear opened its first office in Silicon Valley to take advantage of growing technology opportunities and create new business partnerships to spur breakthrough innovation. Also, Goodyear has developed “intelligent” tires featuring proprietary technology that will allow the tires to gather and share important information about inflation, road conditions, and other external forces that influence vehicle performance.
Upon taking over as the chief executive, Kramer was responsible for establishing Goodyear’s Strategy Roadmap, the long-term business vision and plan that is still being executed today.
