Lutzow is new CEO of iCare
The board of directors of Independent Care Health Plan (iCare) has named Tom Lutzow as its new president and chief executive officer, succeeding Patricia Jerominski, who left to lead an HMO in Hawaii.
Independent Care, a joint venture of Humana and the Milwaukee Cent for Independence (MCFI), was founded in 1994 as the first company in the nation offering managed care for people with disabilities. The HMO serves nearly 9,000 members in southeastern Wisconsin.
Lutzow has served as interim head of iCare since last September. He previously served as MCFI’s vice president of employment services.
"A national search led us straight to our own backyard," said Howard Garber, president of MCFI. "Tom has very capably served as iCare’s interim president since September, clearly demonstrating his leadership and dedication to iCare’s philosophy of compassionate care."
Independent Care was chosen by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services to move to the certification phase of development as a managed care organization offering the Family Care Partnership product in November 2009. If awarded the contract, iCare will offer Family Care Partnership long-term care services to adults who are physically and/or developmentally disabled and seniors who qualify.
Harley tabs Johnson Controls executive to be next CEO
Milwaukee-based Harley-Davidson Inc. has named Keith Wandell president and chief executive officer, succeeding James Ziemer, who is retiring.
Wandell, 59, currently serves as president and chief operating officer of Glendale-based Johnson Controls Inc., a $38 billion global company.
Wandell, a 21-year Johnson Controls veteran, will start his new duties at Harley-Davidson May 1.
"Keith Wandell is a seasoned global business leader who brings tremendous energy, passion, and organizational and talent development capability to his job as Harley-Davidson’s new chief executive," said Harley-Davidson board member Barry Allen, who serves as the board’s presiding director.

Regarding his appointment, Wandell said, "Harley-Davidson has a remarkable record of success and limitless possibilities. I am honored and thrilled to join the Harley-Davidson family and to have this opportunity to help it fulfill dreams, create innovative market-leading products, and expand its opportunities worldwide."
Harley also announced the following organizational leadership changes which, according to Allen, also will serve as a catalyst to drive Harley-Davidson’s strategies for growth, operational excellence and leadership development going forward:
Matthew Levatich becomes president and chief operating officer of Harley-Davidson Motor Company. Levatich, 44, is currently president and managing director of MV Agusta, the Italian motorcycle maker that Harley-Davidson Inc. acquired last August.
James McCaslin moves to executive vice president for corporate product planning, reporting to the CEO. In this newly created position, McCaslin has broad oversight of motorcycle product planning and development processes across Harley-Davidson, Inc. McCaslin, 60, has served as president of the Motor Company for the past eight years.
Enrico D’Onofrio, 51, assumes the post of managing director, MV Agusta. D’Onofrio joined MV Agusta as corporate general director earlier in 2009, overseeing all administrative functions, including finance and human resources. Previously he held senior management positions at motorcycle maker Ducati, including CFO, and at Proctor & Gamble in Europe. All three appointments also are effective May 1.
