About Jennifer Rumsey
Jen Rumsey began her Cummins career working on the first products where Cummins introduced emissions after-treatment systems. Since then, Rumsey has worked across the product lifecycle and in various parts of the business – from advanced research to product quality – and has been deeply engaged with some of the company’s most important OEM partners.
While serving as CTO, Jen Rumsey led Cummins’ efforts to reduce criteria pollutants from its products. Rumsey was critical in the decisions to make strategic investments in key technologies and markets to transition to lower carbon emissions products, laying the foundation for what has resulted in the New Power Business and for Destination Zero, Cummins’ path to zero emissions strategy.
As the President of Components, Jen Rumsey oversaw a global portfolio of business units. While in that role, COVID-19 forced Rumsey to navigate some of the most complex business conditions in the company’s history while simultaneously resetting the strategic aim for Components to maximize future growth opportunities. Under Rumsey’s leadership, Components launched National Standard VI products in China and Bharat Stage VI products in India designed to reduce emissions while offering industry leading performance.
While President of the Components business, Rumsey was also a member of the Eaton Cummins joint venture Board of Directors and played a key role in launching the Endurant transmission in China. In 2021, the Components business revenues in China and India combined approached two billion dollars, reflecting the success of the new products launched with our customers and partners.
In March 2021, Rumsey was promoted to President and COO, overseeing Cummins’ global operations. Rumsey also has maintained a relentless focus on our customers, working collaboratively to address global supply constraints. The company recently reported record revenues for 2021, and Rumsey’s leadership during this period was instrumental in delivering those results.
Rumsey is a member of the Society of Women Engineers, Society of Automotive Engineers, the Purdue Engineering Advisory Committee and Women in Trucking Association. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Purdue University and a Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Throughout her career, she has been an advocate for diversity, equity and inclusion and women in STEM fields.
