CNH announced that Oddone Incisa, the Company’s current Chief Financial Officer (CFO), will step down and will be succeeded by James (Jim) Nickolas. Nickolas will be based at the Company’s North American headquarters in Oak Brook, Ill.
Nickolas has over 30 years of experience in corporate finance, M&A, business strategy, tax and investment banking. He most recently served as CFO and Executive Vice President at Martin Marietta, a US-based supplier of construction materials. Prior to this, he spent close to a decade at construction multinational Caterpillar where his previous roles included Head of Corporate Development and Caterpillar Ventures, CFO of the Resources Industries segment, and CFO of the Global Mining unit.
Incisa has decided to pursue new opportunities outside of the organization. His 28-year career with CNH and the former Fiat Group (now Stellantis) has seen him work across Europe, North America and South America, assuming roles of increasing seniority in the Finance and Commercial Lending divisions.
Incisa and Nickolas will work side by side through April to ensure a seamless transition, with Nickolas taking full responsibility as CFO as of May 6, 2025.
“On behalf of our Board of Directors and Global Leadership Team, I wish to sincerely thank Oddone for his contributions and dedication to CNH over these many years. As CFO, he has played a key role in guiding the Company through many challenges including the Covid-19 pandemic, the demerger of our off- and on-highway business segments, the inclusion in US stock indexes and periods of both record performance and cyclical downturns. We wish him well in his future endeavors,” said Gerrit Marx, CEO at CNH. “We look forward to welcoming Jim to the team. He brings extensive finance and M&A expertise that will help drive and support our growth ambitions.”
