MCI names Tim Barnes Vice President of Private Sector Sales
Motor Coach Industries (MCI), a subsidiary of NFI Group Inc. (NFI) and North America’s motorcoach leader, offering in-field technical expertise, 24/7 roadside assistance, and parts support, announced the appointment of Tim Barnes as Vice President of Private Sector Sales, MCI.
Barnes assumes the role previously held by Tom Wagner, who was promoted earlier this year to lead all private sector commercial operations for MCI under the company’s Project Focus initiative. Barnes will report to Wagner and oversee new coach sales and customer relationships across North America’s private market.
“Tim’s deep industry experience, strong customer relationships, and commitment to service excellence make him the ideal leader to take our private sector sales team forward,” said Wagner. “Having worked closely with him during his tenure at NFI Parts, I know he brings a collaborative, customer-first mindset that our operators will appreciate.”
Barnes brings over 25 years of experience in the heavy-duty vehicle market. Most recently, he served as Director of Parts, Sales and Customer Service–Private Sector at NFI Parts, where he led a national team serving motorcoach operators with timely, personalized aftermarket support. Before joining NFI Parts, Barnes held leadership positions in parts, service, and training at heavy-duty OEMs and supplier organizations.
“It is both humbling and an honor to take this position,” said Barnes. “The MCI brand is such an iconic part of the motorcoach industry and there have been many legendary MCI sales leaders over the decades. I look forward to working with our incredible customers and supporting the talented sales professionals who represent MCI every day.”
