Great Dane Appoints Eddie Martin as EVP and Chief Commercial Officer
Great Dane has appointed Eddie Martin as Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer, effective August 3. The Chicago-based trailer manufacturer is strengthening its leadership team amid the retirement of key executives this year, including Rick Mullininx, who will step down on December 31. Martin brings over three decades of experience in manufacturing and industrial markets to his new role at Great Dane. He has previously held senior roles such as SVP of Sales at PCNA, Chief Commercial Officer for GE Industrial Services, and President at WestRock. In this position, Martin will lead the company's commercial strategy and sales efforts. Great Dane recently also named Mel Cohen interim CEO in May 2026 and Diana Yan EVP and CFO in June to support leadership continuity as it continues its search for a permanent CEO.
