Default Official: Willie G. to retire from Harley-Davidson in April

Filed under: Hirings/Firings/Layoffs, Motorcycle

Famed Senior Vice President and Chief Styling Officer Wille G. has announced his retirement from Harley-Davidson effective April 30, 2012, after 49 years with the company. He is 78 years of age, and one of 13 executives who purchased the brand from AMF in 1981.

According to Harley-Davidson, Wille G., grandson of company founder William A. Davidson, is leaving 19-year company veteran Ray Drea in charge of the styling department. Drea and Davidson are said to have collaborated on many milestone models. In other words, we wouldn't expect sweeping changes to H-D's overall design philosophy in Willie's absence, for better or for worse.

Willie G. will remain onboard as an ambassador at motorcycle rallies and events, and he'll lead special design projects as Chief Styling Officer Emeritus. Feel free to peruse the press release below.Continue reading Willie G. to retire from Harley-Davidson in April
