The thesis
Why this org is unusual
Goodyear operates without a Chief Operating Officer, instead concentrating power in a manufacturing‑heavy and regionally divisional executive team.
The CEO directly oversees manufacturing, finance, legal, technology and regional leadership, creating a wide but shallow span.
Global Manufacturing and Supply Chain is elevated to a senior vice president role reporting directly to the CEO, underscoring the company’s transformation focus on cost, footprint rationalization and margin improvement. Regional accountability remains intact through divisional presidents, particularly EMEA.
This structure reflects Goodyear Forward priorities: fewer corporate layers, strong central control over factories and supply chain, and direct CEO oversight of capital allocation and legal risk during divestitures.
- No Chief Operating Officer
- Manufacturing SVP reports directly to CEO
- Regional presidents retained despite transformation
