Navistar Inc. announced that Bill Schumacher has been named VP, marketing, for Navistar’s global bus division. Schumacher previously served as VP, marketing, for Navistar’s RV group.

Prior to joining Navistar, Schumacher ran North and South America customer marketing at NAVTEQ, a Nokia company. He also spent six years in marketing and business strategy consulting and began his career at Motorola Inc.
