Continental has named Rob Schroeder, senior manager of operations, marketing and analytics, as the new head of region for the United States and Canada.

He exemplifies the qualities, strategic thinking, and vision necessary to lead our sales efforts within the region,” said Constantin Batsch, head of global sales and operations specialty tires.
