Former Cummins executive retiring from post with Save the Children Given his upbringing, it’s perhaps no surprise Rick Stoner would end up bringing the business skills he learned at Cummins to Save the Children, the global charity dedicated to helping children in need. Stoner will retire as Save the Children’s SVP International Programs and Chief Operating Officer on Oct. 1. He is the son of Richard B. Stoner, Vice Chairman of the Cummins Board of Directors for 20 years and a close associate of visionary Cummins’ Chairman and CEO J. Irwin Miller.
