Vitous has a Bachelor of Science in business administration from Central Michigan University and a Master of Business Administration from Wayne State University.
Markett was appointed to her current position in August 2022. In this role, she is responsible for instilling and executing the company’s Dare Forward 2030 plan, including long-range planning, demand planning, production planning, order to delivery, supplier capacity, inbound/outbound logistics, and the consistent flow of parts into the company’s 35 plants in North America. She has been with the company for 22 years, working her way up through leadership roles in both supply chain and manufacturing, including being named vice president of North America supply in 2021.
