Doug Oberhelman has had a sustained trajectory in the corporate sector, with his most prominent roles being the CEO and Executive Chairman of Caterpillar Inc. Oberhelman served as CEO from 2010 to December 31, 2016, and continued as executive chairman until March 31, 2017. Upon joining Caterpillar Inc. in 1975, starting in the treasury department, Oberhelman progressively took on wider responsibilities across multiple businesses within the company, eventually being elected as a Caterpillar vice president and chief financial officer (CFO) in 1995.
Oberhelman's stewardship of Caterpillar was characterized by strategic decisions that led the company through fluctuating business cycles.
