Seattle, WA, USA--(Jobwerx News)--Textron names new president of Jacobsen,
a leading manufacturer of golf and sports turf, turfgrass production,
and professional lawn care equipment.
Textron Inc. names Daniel F. Wilkinson president of Jacobsen, a leading
manufacturer of golf and sports turf, commercial grounds care, turfgrass
production, and large estate professional lawn care equipment.
Wilkinson will assume this role on October 10 and will report to Textron
Industrial Segment President Barclay Olson and replaces Jon Carlson, who
left Jacobsen to pursue other opportunities.
Wilkinson joined Textron in 1997 as director of national sales accounts
at Greenlee, Textron's professional tools business, where he was responsible
for large customers such as The Home Depot, Grainger and Graybar. He worked
his way up in the organization to his current role of senior vice president
of marketing and sales, where he was responsible for product development,
managing the Greenlee brand, as well as developing the business' long-term
strategy.
"We're extremely fortunate to have proven leaders like Dan on board,"
said Textron Industrial Segment President Barclay Olson. "He is a highly
talented executive who has the experience and knowledge to lead Jacobsen
into the future."
Before joining Textron, Wilkinson worked at General Electric for 17 years.
During his tenure at GE Lighting, he held various positions with increasing
responsibility in areas such as distribution planning, marketing and sales.
Not only is Dan a strong leader, his core strengths of strategy development,
multiple channel/multiple step distribution management, product development
and rationalization, as well as brand management are exactly what Jacobsen
needs," said Olson.
Wilkinson holds a BS degree in Accounting from Carroll College. He and
his family will relocate to Charlotte, North Carolina where Jacobsen is
headquartered.
Jacobsen manufactures a full range of vehicles and turf maintenance equipment
for golf, turf, professional lawn care, sports fields, municipal and industrial
applications. The company markets Bob-Cat(R), Brouwer(R), Bunton(R), Cushman(R),
