When we were presented with the opportunity to interview Mark Stewart, CEO of Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, with the famous Goodyear Blimp, we jumped at the opportunity.
That familiarity with vehicles eventually led him into engineering and manufacturing, including a five-year stint at Stellantis before taking on the CEO role at Goodyear.
Stewart emphasized the push to reclaim Goodyear's position in the tire industry — not just in terms of brand recognition, but performance.
When I asked what it's like leading a 126-year-old brand, he quipped, "Don't mess it up."
He seemed genuinely interested in what he was doing and seemed to care about the brand of Goodyear.
