About Jerry Hutkowski

As a Product/After-sales Manager in the off-road AG/CE industry, I have over 20 years of experience with OEM/dealer & rental channels. My strong background is built from roles in product management, product development, remanufacturing and parts aftermarket. I hold an MBA with an emphasis in Supply Chain from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater and love to keep up with the latest industry news - be it from Compact Equipment or Farm Journal magazine.My mission is to deliver customer-driven products & services that address the construction equipment market needs. I develop strategic plans for increasing market share, gross margins, and customer satisfaction, and I represent the voice of the customer for new product development programs. I also have extensive experience in launching new lubricant, battery, reman and 2nd line/value repair parts for OEM equipment, as well as maximizing the sales and market share of construction attachment and ground engaging tools. I am a strategic thinker and a team player, who values collaboration, learning, and innovation. I have learned so much from my mentors and colleagues over my career, and I try to pay it forward whenever possible by helping others. I believe that great things in business are never done by one person, but by a team of people who share a common vision and passion.
