Dunlop Hires New General Manager of Sales

Dunlop announces the addition of Cary Budzinski to its motorcycle tires management team, filling the position of general manager of sales. Budzinski has spent more than 26 years with Goodyear in both its retail store and consumer business units. He most recently served as general manager of dealer development for the consumer business unit.

Budzinski will report to Mike Buckley, senior VP sales/marketing & R&D. Scott Dewey, Phil Waters, Fred Hassen and the rest of Dunlop’s sales force will report to Budzinski.

“The addition of Cary is an excellent opportunity to bolster an already-strong team, adding new depth to give us even more well-rounded capabilities," said Buckley. "Cary is a proven leader who has a great deal of experience in the wholesale and retail realm, and we’re looking forward to the many abilities he adds to our team.”

Budzinski said, “I’m very enthusiastic about being on board with the motorcycle tire group, and I’m looking forward to engaging with the many professionals in the industry. This is a very exciting sport with passionate fans in the customer base as well as in both the wholesale and retail sides of the business. This is a fantastic, dynamic setting.”
