LCI recently announced the appointment of Ronald Fenech to the supplier’s board of directors, as an additional independent director. Fenech will also serve on the board’s corporate governance and nominating committee.
Fenech, 60, co-founded Grand Design RV in 2012, a fast-growing manufacturer of towable RVs that was acquired in 2016 by Winnebago Industries. Before forming Grand Design, he held several executive positions at Thor Industries, including as senior group president of Thor from January 2010 to 2012, and as president of Keystone RV following its acquisition by Thor in November 2001 until January 2010.
Fenech has more than 30 years of experience in the RV industry covering a broad range of positions with several companies.
“We are excited about Ron’s addition to our board,” said Jim Gero, chairman of LCI’s board of directors. “His deep understanding of the RV industry, leadership skills and strong operating and strategic experience will be of significant benefit to LCI Industries and our stockholders.”
Fenech earned a bachelor’s degree in business in 1979 from the University of Michigan. He also serves on the board of directors of Beacon Health System, a regional provider of health care services serving the Elkhart and South Bend communities of northern Indiana.
