WARRENVILLE, Ill. — Steven K. Covey has been elected senior vice president and general counsel of both Navistar International Corporation and International.

Covey, 53, succeeds Robert A. Boardman, who retired Aug. 31. Covey also will become a member of the company’s executive council.

Daniel C.

“Steve has demonstrated genuine leadership throughout his career and he has played a key role in helping the company establish new joint ventures and set up new operations.” Ustian said. “I also would like to thank Bob Boardman for his many contributions during his nearly 15 years as our general counsel.”

Covey joined Navistar in 1981. Most recently he served as deputy general counsel after serving several years as general counsel of Navistar Financial Corporation, the company’s finance subsidiary. He also served as Navistar corporate secretary from 1990 to 2000.

He earned his bachelor’s degree from the University of Illinois and his doctorate degree from DePaul University.
