McClellan succeeds Curt Andersson, who is leaving the company. McClellan will remain responsible for the unit?s consumer tire operations until a replacement is named.
?Steve brings strong leadership and a proven track record of delivering results,? says Richard J. Kramer, chairman, president and CEO.
?Steve?s career of more than 20 years at Goodyear has included progressively larger leadership positions within North American Tire. His success in running the North American consumer and commercial tire businesses and his strong relationships with customers make him a natural successor to the role,? he adds.
?Performance in the first half of 2011 demonstrates strong momentum in our North American business,? says Kramer. ?Under Steve?s leadership, we will continue to drive results over coming quarters and stay on the path toward our targeted $450 million of segment operating income in 2013.?
Kramer salutes Andersson?s contributions to the firm?s success. ?During Curt?s tenure, we have continued our progress toward returning North American Tire to sustainable profitability. We appreciate his efforts and thank him for his work at Goodyear.?
McClellan, 45, has spent his entire career at Goodyear since joining the company in 1988. Most of his experience has been in a variety of management roles within the consumer tire division, including finance, sales and distribution.
In December 2001, he moved into the commercial tire business, serving as president of Wingfoot Commercial Tire Systems, the company?s national network of commercial tire sales, retreading and service.
McClellan was promoted to vice president of Commercial Tire Systems in September 2003. He has been the president of Goodyear?s North American consumer tire business since August 2008.
McClellan earned his Bachelor of Science degree in accounting from the University of Akron in 1987.
