Corso has over 20 years of communications experience with consumer brands such as Nike, Levi's and Adidas.
Separately, Navistar named David Giroux as chief communications officer as of Sept. 1.
"David is an experienced and respected leader in the North American truck industry and we are proud to have him join the Navistar team," said Walter Borst, Navistar’s chief financial officer.
