Tire Industry Hall of Fame Spotlight: Christine Karbowiak

Nov. 3, 2022

New Tire Industry Hall of Fame inductee Christine Karbowiak rose to the upper echelons of Bridgestone Corp., her employer of more than 25 years.

Karbowiak served Bridgestone in a wide range of roles – including executive vice president, executive officer, chief risk officer and chief administrative officer - eventually joining the Tokyo, Japan-based tire manufacturer’s global executive committee.

She helped create Bridgestone’s corporate and social responsibility platform.

“Through numerous board roles, she heled support and elevate women within the tire industry,” according to the Tire Industry Association (TIA).

“Karbowiak also brought a passion for Bridgestone’s role in ensuring a healthy environment for both current and future generations. She cross-functionally led the company through numerous crisis situations with poise and grace and many times served as the face and voice of the global company.”

Karbowiak was inducted into the Tire Industry Hall of Fame earlier this week during a TIA-sponsored event.
