Oshkosh Corporation announced the appointment of Matthew Field as chief financial officer effective Dec. 16. Field will succeed Michael Pack, who transitioned to president of the company’s vocational segment earlier this year.
With over 20 years of leadership in the automotive and aerospace sectors, Field brings a strong track record in strategic financial stewardship to Oshkosh. He is currently serving as CFO of Joby Aviation, where he was instrumental in guiding the company through its public listing in 2021, establishing Joby as a leader in electric vertical take-off and landing technology. Prior to Joby, Field spent more than two decades at Ford Motor Company, including as CFO of Ford North America, Ford’s largest division, representing approximately $100 billion in annual revenue.
“We are pleased to welcome Matt to the organization,” said John Pfeifer, Oshkosh Corporation president and chief executive officer. “Matt is exceptionally well-suited to support our growth strategy. His extensive financial experience, strategic vision and people-first leadership style make him an excellent choice as we work to expand our innovative portfolio and drive long-term value.”
“Oshkosh is an industry leader with cutting-edge products and a best-in-class operating model,” said Field. “I am excited to be a part of the strong Oshkosh culture and to leverage my skills and experience to continue to grow the business, expand margins and deliver long-term value for our customers and shareholders.”
Field holds a master of business administration degree from the Haas School of Business at the University of California, Berkeley and a bachelor of arts degree from Swarthmore College.
