Daw grew up and was educated in the UK and began his manufacturing career in 2005 as a product manager with Perkins Engines in the UK, The company had been acquired by Cat seven years earlier in 1998. After two years with the company, he was promoted to purchasing manager for its Peterborough plant. Then in 2009 he was transferred to Caterpillar’s facility in Chicago where he was appointed as product manager for hydraulic cylinders and tanks and later power trains.

My emphasis is on fostering collaboration to increase efficiencies and drive growth — not just for the Access segment but also for our business partners.”

“Moving forward the team’s continued focus will be on developing and supporting partnerships in the supply chain that will sustain JLG’s competitive advantage, enabling us to serve our customers better than anyone else in the industry by meeting their needs today and in the future. With JLG’s strong global brand presence and people-first culture, I look forward to leading procurement and supply chain efforts at a company of this calibre.”
