He later moved to Singapore to lead the Southeast Asia region before serving in a host of other roles, including president of the power generation business, president of the distribution business, president, chief operating officer and vice chairman.
“Throughout his tenure, Tony has led the company through periods of significant growth and helped us navigate the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic with exceptional leadership,” Rumsey said in the news release. “In addition, Tony realized early on that investing in our people and allocating the resources to build strong, capable leaders would give Cummins a competitive advantage—and it has.”
