Corvette enthusiast David Hill takes over as President and CEO of the National Corvette Museum, effective March 2025.
The National Corvette Museum has appointed David Hill as its new President and CEO, succeeding Sharon Brawner, who announced her departure last year after serving since 2021.
Hill, who officially begins his role on March 17, 2025, brings extensive leadership experience across multiple industries, including technology, manufacturing, energy, and education. His prior executive positions include roles at Mar-K, Logic Energy, Petrosmith, and Kimray, reflecting a diverse business background suited to guide the museum's strategic growth.
Board Chair Kaye Wagner praised Hill’s unique ability to honor Corvette’s storied past while guiding the museum into the future. "David’s blend of business insight, deep passion for Corvette heritage, and demonstrated leadership made him the ideal candidate," Wagner said. "We look forward to his contributions as we continue to evolve."
Hill, a longtime Corvette enthusiast and restorer of several classic models, including a 1971 Stingray, cited his admiration for the Corvette legacy in accepting the role. His personal favorite Corvette model remains the iconic 1967 edition. He clarified he has no relation to David Hill, the retired Corvette Chief Engineer known for overseeing the C5 and C6 Corvette generations.
“The National Corvette Museum represents the heart and soul of America’s sports car, and it's a tremendous honor to lead this cherished institution,” Hill said. “I am excited to work with the talented museum team to enhance our visitor experience, expand our audience, and continue celebrating Corvette’s rich history and culture.”
Hill and his wife, Shannon, plan to relocate to Bowling Green, home to both the museum and the GM Bowling Green Assembly Plant, Corvette’s exclusive production site since 1981.
The National Corvette Museum is known as a premier destination for car enthusiasts worldwide, showcasing rare Corvettes, historic exhibits, and interactive experiences dedicated to preserving the legacy of America’s most celebrated sports car.
