Airxcel announced the retirement of Chief Financial Officer Debi Jones, effective July 31.
Jones began her career with Airxcel in 1991 as the assistant controller at Coleman-Mach and grew with the company over the next two decades working as division controller, manager of financial reporting, and director of finance and human resources before taking the CFO role for Airxcel in 2013. During her tenure with Airxcel, Jones spearheaded financial strategy through pivotal acquisitions, global expansion and record growth that cemented Airxcel’s position as a top-tier supplier in the RV industry.
Jones reflected on her time with Airxcel, stating, “It’s been an honor to contribute to Airxcel’s journey, from its foundational years to becoming an industry powerhouse. The lifelong friendships forged here — with teams who are passionate about our products, unwavering in driving positive employee culture and treat innovation as a mission — are what I’ll cherish most.”
Jones’s impact resonated industry-wide. In 2022, Jones was named a finalist for the RV Women’s Alliance Trailblazer Award for Lifetime Achievement, recognizing her role in scaling Airxcel into a leading worldwide RV supplier while mentoring future leaders. Jones plans to focus on family, travel, and community initiatives post-retirement.
Airxcel President and CEO Anthony Wollschlager praised Jones’ indelible influence: “Debi’s vision transformed our financial architecture into a catalyst for innovation. Her leadership exemplifies a commitment to partnership — a core value that defines our brand ethos. We celebrate her legacy as she embraces her next chapter in retirement.”
