In this role, he is responsible for global purchasing, manufacturing planning, logistics and warehousing, and Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) for a business unit of Cummins that makes aftertreatment products for Cummins engines and other Original Engine Manufacturers (OEMs) around the world.
He has more than 25 years of experience managing plants (engines, machining and fabrication) for Cummins. He left Cummins for a few years in 2000, and managed an automotive stamping and welding operation in Bardstown, Kentucky, while pursuing a graduate degree and post-graduate study in Louisville, Kentucky.

Prior to his current role, he was the General Manager of the Rocky Mount Engine Plant, one of the most complex engine plants for Cummins, employing more than 2,000 people in Rocky Mount, North Carolina. While in North Carolina, he was a strong advocate for educational partnership and was the founding Chairman of the Strategic Twin-county Educational Partnership (STEP) to improve educational outcomes through collaboration between school systems, community and business leaders.
Ken also served on the East Carolina University engineering advisory board and built strong partnerships with local community colleges to strengthen talent in engineering, manufacturing and supply chain functions. Now, as a global leader, he is championing collaboration with strategic suppliers to improve innovation in technology, and improve supply chain for a global business unit of Cummins.
