Cummins announced various movements in its organizational structure, which reach operations in Mexico and Latin America. Among the movements are new responsibilities for Cristina Burrola, who had assumed her position as vice president for Latin America in May 2022.
The objective of the changes, Cummins confirmed, is to strengthen the operation in the region and enhance the future leadership position.
As of June 24, Cristina Burrola assumed the role of Vice President of Global Supply Chain for Cummins-Meritor. From this position she will provide a strategic vision to continue innovating with integrated solutions that drive customer success while reduce their impact on the planet.
Originally from Chihuahua, Mexico, Burrola, in just over two years as vice president of Cummins Latin America, was able to lay the foundations for the development of the region towards 2030, generating an annual growth rate of 10% during the last two years. “In addition, she promoted an improvement in diversity and inclusion indicators at different levels within the company,” the statement stated.
“I am incredibly proud of all the effort and commitment that our collaborators have put into achieving the goals and sharing the vision we have of a more prosperous world for all. Today Cummins is in a unique position to lead the energy transition and strengthen its presence,” commented Burrola.
From this movement, other changes were generated, such as Gaspar Aguilar , who in his role as Leader of the New & ReCon Parts and Aftermarket segment for Cummins Meritor Latam, now assumes the coordination for Cummins corporate functions at the Latin American level to guarantee a continuous focus on human development issues for collaborators in the region, security, as well as corporate responsibility actions for the benefit of local communities. Gaspar Aguilar has a career of more than 28 years at Cummins.
Changes for Mexico
The movements had impacts in Mexico, where the structure will be reinforced to strengthen the engine business where the company currently has 60% market share in the heavy duty segment, 40% in the mid-range and 30% in light duty.
Jorge Machuca will continue as leader of the engine business unit for the Latin American region that includes the markets of Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador, Argentina, Bolivia, Uruguay, Paraguay, Peru, Chile , among others; giving the company continuity in its growth plans and a decisive perspective for achieving its objectives.
At the same time, Lucía López assumes commercial management in the engine business unit, serving the original equipment manufacturers in Latin America , where her main responsibility will be to work directly with the different original equipment manufacturers (OEM) to ensure the product plan and guarantee the availability of the engines in their different applications.
To continue serving the needs of carriers in the region, José Arturo García will serve as Latin American fleet service and attention leader. With strong and visionary leadership, Cummins will support end users by ensuring efficient and seamless operation.
“This new structure promises to intensify our growth and take us to the next level of business. We are prepared for any challenge, but above all to take advantage of the opportunities that the market presents us. At Cummins we are ready and we will continue to innovate to grow at the pace the industry needs,” said Jorge Machuca.
