REV Group announced Sagar Murthy as its new chief information officer and a senior vice president. Murthy will assume the role of current CIO Peter Panagis, who is retiring.
Reporting to Rod Rushing, president and CEO of REV Group, Murthy will oversee digital transformation, information technology strategy, application/infrastructure operations and business value creation across 20 manufacturing facilities that employ more than 7,000 employees throughout the U.S.
Most recently, Murthy served as a senior vice president and group chief information officer for Jason Group. Murthy spent the majority of his career with Actuant Corp. in a series of progressive leadership roles, leaving there when he had achieved the title of group chief information officer, where he built and led a team of technology professionals supporting Actuant’s diversified industrial manufacturing operations across the globe.
“Sagar brings a proven track record as a hands-on, transformational leader adept at building, scaling and deploying industry leading digital technologies that deliver growth and improve operational excellence,” said Rushing. “He will work closely with Peter as we execute this planned transition. I would like to thank Peter for his contributions to REV Group over the past five years and wish him well in his retirement.”
