Tennant Company Announces Senior Leadership Updates to Direct ERP Transformation and Drive Product Innovation - Seite 2

Senior Vice President, Chief Marketing and Technology Officer

The newly created role of Chief Marketing and Technology Officer will be tasked with delivering enterprise growth through disciplined management of the Company’s growing portfolio of brands, its strong innovation pipeline, holistic product lifecycle management, and focused oversight of Tennant’s disruptive technologies. The Company has chosen Pat Schottler, currently Tennant’s Vice President, Marketing, to fill this new role.

“Pat has developed extensive knowledge of the Tennant business working in a variety of leadership roles in the enterprise,” said Huml. “As leader of our Asia-Pacific business unit and in his current role, he has demonstrated his ability to work cross-functionally and align his organization around strategic goals. His breadth of experience across the business will serve him well as he takes on this newly created role.”

Schottler joined Tennant Company in 2011 after 11 years at Honeywell. Before joining Tennant’s Asia-Pacific business as Director of Business Development and Strategy, he held leadership roles in new product development and program management. In 2017, he assumed leadership of the APAC business, a role he held for five years before assuming responsibility for the Company's global marketing and product development functions in late 2022.

Said Huml, “With strong leadership from both Pat and Barb, Tennant is well-positioned to achieve the goals we have set for our current enterprise growth strategy. I look forward to watching Pat contribute in his new role and execute our key strategic objectives, particularly in the areas of new product development and go-to-market. At the same time, Barb’s experience with organizational change and her strong leadership ability will allow her to focus and champion the business transformation efforts that are key to Tennant’s future growth aspirations. Innovation is a core competency at Tennant, and both Barb and Pat are strong innovation advocates who will lead their organizations to drive growth for Tennant.”
