Hello editors, following the death of Herbert Kohler Jr. in 2022, David Kohler was elected chair of Kohler Co., in addition to his role as CEO. This is verified in news sources, including The New York Times and Milwaukee Business Journal. Can editors update Mr. Kohler's roles in the article's infobox, introduction, and Career section?
For the infobox, I propose updating "Occupation(s)" to:
- Chair and CEO, Kohler Company
For the introduction, I propose updating to the first sentence to:
- Karger David Kohler (born June 9, 1966) is an American businessman, serving as the chair and chief executive officer (CEO) of Kohler Company[1][2] and the fourth generation of the Kohler family of Wisconsin to lead the company since its inception in 1873.
In Career, I propose adding the following sentence:
- In September 2022, Kohler was elected board chair of Kohler Co. following the death of his father, who had served as chairman since 1972.[2][3]
