GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER CO /OH/ 8-K

What Happened

The company said her departure is not related to Goodyear’s financial or operating results or any disagreements about financial, accounting or reporting policies.
• Goodyear announced Scott M. Deakin (age 60) will serve as Interim Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer effective July 1, 2026 and will be the company’s principal financial officer until a permanent CFO is appointed.
