• Steve Heap, vice president of Vermeer Latin America (VLA) and Vermeer Europe, Middle East and Africa (VEMEA); and
• Dave Wisniewski, vice president of underground solutions.
In addition, Jason Andringa will assume the role of vice president of distribution and global accounts. He has been successfully serving as managing director of Vermeer Europe, Middle East and Africa (VEMEA) in the Netherlands. Frank Beerthuis will take over Jason’s managing director role at VEMEA.
Other realignment changes include:
• Global aftermarket and marketing will be led by Vice President Mark Core;
