THOR Industries has promoted Ryan Biren to Chief Information Officer, elevating the role to a newly created Executive Officer position as the company advances its enterprise data and AI strategy.
Biren joined the recreational vehicle manufacturer in February 2024 as Vice President of Corporate Development, where he led the buildout of an enterprise data platform now deployed across THOR’s operating companies, including its European operations. The platform supports analytics across sales, operations and customer engagement.
As CIO, Biren will oversee North American IT, data and analytics, IT controls and digital platforms, with responsibility for scaling AI-enabled capabilities, strengthening cybersecurity and enhancing digital experiences for dealers and customers.
President and CEO Bob Martin said, “Data, analytics and AI are central to the next era of value creation at THOR. Elevating the CIO role to the executive leadership team reflects how seriously we are investing in these capabilities to power smarter decisions and stronger operating performance.”
