Leading a team isn’t Cline’s only duty. “My most important leadership role is being a father,” he said, commending the parental leave policy that let him be with his newborn son. The human element extends to entities like the Caterpillar Foundation, which among other initiatives, provides support to disaster-impacted areas. “I’m proud to work for a company that prioritizes communities and their people,” Cline said.
