Andrew Boyd’s signing at Caterpillar to become dealer principal.

Boyd CAT announced that Andrew Boyd has been appointed as the company's new chief executive officer and dealer principal, effective May 2025. The leadership transition marks a new chapter for the long-standing Caterpillar dealership, as Andrew succeeds his father, Monty Boyd, who will move into the role of chairman.

Andrew Boyd's promotion reflects not only a generational milestone for the company, but also a steady and strategic development of leadership from within. He joined Boyd CAT in 2007 and has held a variety of key positions over the past 18 years, gaining experience across multiple areas of the business. His career has included roles such as Ag product application specialist, rental general manager, vice president of Western operations, and most recently, president of Boyd Company, a title he assumed in 2021.

As CEO, Andrew Boyd now leads the company's operations across parts, service, rental and sales, along with the Energy and Transportation division and Boyd Truck Centers. His leadership is expected to drive continued growth and operational excellence across the dealership's regional footprint.

"This transition ensures Boyd CAT remains positioned for long-term success while staying true to our core values and our commitment to customer service," the company said in a recent announcement.

Boyd CAT, formerly known as Whayne Supply and Walker Machinery, rebranded under the Boyd CAT name in 2021 to unify its operations across Kentucky, southern Indiana, West Virginia and southeastern Ohio. The company provides heavy equipment, power systems, and service solutions across construction, mining, agriculture and industrial sectors.

With Andrew Boyd at the helm, the company is poised to build on its reputation for reliability and innovation in the equipment distribution space. The move underscores the Boyd family's ongoing dedication to the business and the industries they serve.
