RVIA Hires New Director of Standards
The RV Industry Association welcomes Bryan Ritchie as its new senior director of standards. Ritchie comes to the Association with 22 years of experience in service, sales, and application engineering from converters, inverters, to transfer switches and power generation systems.
“I’ve had an aspiration to be more centric to the RV Industry over the past several years,” Ritchie said. “When I was made aware of this opportunity, I felt it was a great fit for my technical background and experience. It’s a gift to have a role where you’re able to work with the RV industry as a whole.”
Prior to joining RVIA, Ritchie had a 15-year career with Cummins in the power generation business, where he broadened his passions of product support, product development and integration as an application engineer. He later advanced to managing the Consumer Application Engineering team. Throughout the past eight years, he has excelled as a director of sales on the distribution side of the business, leading a sales organization in several segments, growing the OEM and dealer business within the consumer segments in a vast area, while achieving year over year profitable growth.
“Bryan’s appointment to the team is instrumental in the continued transition and succession plan of the Standards team,” said RVIA Senior Vice President of Standards Curt Hemmeler. “He brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to this critical position within the Association.”
