Boerger joined Cummins in 1984 after graduating from Valparaiso University with a degree in mechanical engineering. During her 30-year career, she has held roles in automotive marketing, field sales and service, OEM account management and

Cummins Emission Solutions aftermarket business. Boerger most recently served as General Manager — Field Sales and Support.

Lori Thompson will assume a new position as Vice President — Engine Business Marketing, and will have responsibility for global marketing, marketing communications and emerging-growth opportunities.
