Jody Davis, Chief Financial Officer at Workhorse
DETROIT, July 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Workhorse Group Inc. (NASDAQ: WKHS) ("Workhorse"), a North American OEM and provider of all-electric trucks, step vans, shuttles and buses, today announced the appointment of Jody Davis as Chief Financial Officer (CFO), replacing current CFO Bob Ginnan, who is retiring.
Davis is a finance executive with approximately 15 years of finance leadership experience across manufacturing, energy storage, aerospace, and technology companies, with a track record of closing large capital rounds and guiding development-stage businesses into full production. His experience includes roles in strategic finance, capital formation, capital markets, treasury, financial planning & analytics, as well as building the finance infrastructure needed to support capital intensive companies as they move from development into commercialization and production.
"Jody is a company-builder who has deep and direct experience in numerous areas that are critical to Workhorse at this stage in our journey," said Scott Griffith, CEO of Workhorse. "His experience raising later-stage growth capital combined with experience developing relationships with analysts and investors will be a strong addition to the Workhorse leadership team. We believe he's the right CFO for where we are and where we're going."
Immediately prior to joining Workhorse, Davis served as Vice President of Strategic Finance at Unimacts, where he led financing initiatives across multiple entities within a complex capital structure. Previously, he served as Chief Financial Officer of Evio, formerly EOS Aircraft Inc., a hybrid-electric regional aircraft program, where he led the strategic repositioning of the business to Montreal, Canada as part of an Industrial and Technological Benefits (ITB) partnership with Boeing Canada. In connection with that transition, he built integrated financial models linking design, production and certification milestones to capital deployment.
Davis was part of the founding team and served as Chief Financial Officer of Our Next Energy, Inc., (ONE), a Michigan-based LFP battery innovator. During his time with the company, ONE scaled from pre-seed stage to production while expanding to approximately 500 employees, and Davis built the finance, human resources, financial planning & analytics functions needed to support this rapid growth. He played a key role across capital formation, various debt structures, investor diligence, board reporting, treasury, working capital discipline, and manufacturing scale-up.
