Anyone who knows Fred Rio, knows he is always positive and forward-looking in both his personal and professional life. Who knew how important those characteristics would be in an intensely challenging year, and having to adapt to the ever-changing health, political and economic climate. Rio is the product manager for Caterpillar’s Construction Digital & Technology (CD&T). His team is responsible for developing, executing and growing the digital and technology business for markets represented by the Construction Industries business segment. Their goal: solve customer problems by leveraging expertise in both the digital and the construction realms.
Beyond The Iron host Rusty Dunn chatted with Rio earlier this summer, who is a 20+ year Caterpillar veteran, is fluent in five languages and has lived in Europe, Asia, Latin and North America throughout his career.
