Goodyear Names New CFO to Drive Long-Term Financial Strategy

Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company has announced that Jerome Rouquet will join the company as Chief Financial Officer, effective 1 December 2026. 

He will report directly to Goodyear CEO Mark Stewart and serve as a member of the company’s Senior Leadership Team.

Jerome is an experienced financial executive with a deep understanding of the global automotive industry. Currently, he serves as CFO of Visteon Corporation, where he oversees the firm’s global financial activities. 

Prior to joining Visteon in 2020, he held several senior finance leadership positions at Tenneco and Federal-Mogul, including serving as Federal-Mogul’s CFO, Chief Accounting Officer and Controller.

An important addition to Goodyear’s leadership

Mark describes Jerome’s appointment as “an important addition” to the Goodyear leadership team.

He adds: “Jerome combines deep financial expertise with a proven ability to help organisations improve performance and navigate transformation. 

“As we continue building momentum and executing our long-term strategy, his leadership and experience will help position Goodyear for success.”

With his wide experience across financial strategy, operational performance, investor relations and public-company finance, Jerome’s appointment aligns with Goodyear’s strategy to drive shareholder value through operational improvement, financial discipline and prudent capital allocation.

In addition to his industry experience, Jerome holds a Master of Business and Management from Institut Supérieur de Gestion in Paris and completed the International Business Management Program at the Manhattan Institute of Management in New York.

Scott Deakin, who has served as Goodyear’s interim CFO during the search for a successor, will continue in the role until Jerome joins the company and will support the leadership transition.

Discussing his appointment, Jerome says: “I am honoured to be joining Goodyear and excited for the opportunity ahead. 

“I look forward to working with [Mark], the leadership team and colleagues across the company as we build on Goodyear’s strengths and continue moving the business forward!”
