Club Car appoints new CEO

Club Car, a global leader in golf cars, low-speed utility vehicles and personal-use transportation, today announced the appointment of Craig Scanlon as President and Chief Executive Officer, effective June 9. 

Scanlon succeeds Mark Wagner, who announced his retirement in March. 

With over two decades of executive leadership experience, Scanlon has held key officer roles in both private equity-owned and Fortune 500 organizations, most recently as CEO of K&N Engineering. His career spans the industrial, powersports and automotive aftermarket sectors, including 18 years at Polaris where he rose to the role of Chief Marketing Officer. 

Scanlon began his career in 1998 in commercial sales of Club Car Carryall vehicles while at Ingersoll Rand.

“Craig is a proven leader with an impressive combination of operational expertise and deep industry experience. His success driving growth and innovation makes him the ideal choice to lead the next chapter at Club Car,” said Jared Hutchins, Principal at Platinum Equity, which acquired Club Car from Ingersoll Rand in 2021.

“I’m honored to return to Club Car at such a pivotal time,” said Scanlon. “The usage of low-speed vehicles is evolving, and I look forward to leveraging Club Car’s rich history and brand while embracing innovation that serves our channel partners and customers.”
