American IronHorse Names COO
American IronHorse made two upper management announcements, including the hiring of a chief operating officer.
R.B. “Buck” Hendrickson will fill that role for the Fort Worth, Texas V-twin motorcycle manufacturer. Hendrickson will oversee corporate operations and will guide its veteran managers on new growth plans for manufacturing, product development, sales and marketing.
