Cummins Inc. announced that Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Marya Rose will be retiring, effective April 2021, after more than 20 years in leadership positions with the company. Vice President and General Counsel, Sharon Barner, will succeed Rose. Rose joined Cummins in 1997 and quickly made her mark. In 2001, she was named General Counsel. In this role, Rose transformed the legal function from a group focused primarily on North America to a true global team and strategic partner to the business. Prior to joining Cummins, Rose served two Indiana Governors, and practiced law in Indianapolis. She earned a BA in Political Economy from Williams College and a JD from Indiana University – Indianapolis (now the McKinney School of Law). Rose has served in leadership positions on several public company and not-for-profit boards, including Duke Energy, Planned Parenthood of Indiana and Kentucky; Newfields; Hoosier Women Forward and 16 Tech. Barner joined Cummins in 2012 as General Counsel and immediately made transformative changes to address external factors like increased globalization, technological disruption, and amplified government oversight on the legal function. Over the past nine years, Barner has built a talented and diverse team across 11 countries that has skillfully executed multiple acquisitions, navigated complex regulatory matters, implemented a consolidated contract life cycle management platform and continued to protect Cummins’ interests. Barner has served in leadership positions on several public company and not-for-profit boards, including Howmet Aerospace Inc., Brebeuf Jesuit Prep School, Indiana Repertory Theatre, Association of Corporate Counsel, Eskenazi Health Foundation, Foundation for Advancement of Diversity in IP Law (FADIPL) and the Leadership Council on Legal Diversity. Barner and her husband reside in the Indianapolis area.
