“I am excited to have someone of Tony’s caliber leading this important business in the Cummins’ family,” said Tim Solso, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “His experience gives us an advantage in the highly competitive power generation markets.”

Satterthwaite has 14 years of international experience, living abroad in the UK and in Singapore. He ran the Southeast Asia region and led Power GenerationÂ’s business in Asia-Pacific.
