Airxcel CFO Debi Jones Retires After Decades of Financial Leadership

Airxcel announced the retirement of Chief Financial Officer Debi Jones, effective July 31, marking the close of a more than three-decade tenure that helped shape the company into a global supplier in the RV sector.

Jones joined the company in 1991 as assistant controller at Coleman-Mach, an Airxcel brand, and steadily rose through a series of leadership roles. 

She became Airxcel’s CFO in 2013, overseeing finance during a period of significant expansion, including multiple acquisitions and international growth.

Over her 34-year career with the company, Jones held key positions including division controller, manager of financial reporting, and director of finance and human resources. 

Her leadership was instrumental in building a financial structure that supported Airxcel’s evolving business needs.

“It’s been an honor to contribute to Airxcel’s journey, from its foundational years to becoming an industry powerhouse,” Jones said in a statement. “The lifelong friendships forged here… are what I’ll cherish most.”

Jones’ career was also noted for her mentorship of future financial leaders within the organization and her broader impact on the RV industry. 

In 2022, she was recognized as a finalist for the RV Women’s Alliance Trailblazer Award for Lifetime Achievement.

During her tenure, Jones supported Airxcel’s transition into a multi-brand, multi-national business. The company now comprises 17 brands with 14 facilities across the U.S. and Europe.

According to a press release, Airxcel President and CEO Anthony Wollschlager credited Jones for helping define the company’s approach to finance and innovation. 

“Debi’s vision transformed our financial architecture into a catalyst for innovation,” Wollschlager said. “Her leadership exemplifies a commitment to partnership—a core value that defines our brand ethos.”

Airxcel, headquartered in Wichita, Kansas, designs, manufactures, and distributes essential products for the RV industry. The company serves a wide range of OEMs and aftermarket customers across North America and abroad.
