Midea America Corporation (MAC) has announced that John Herrington will step away from his role as President of MAC effective September 30, 2026. During Herrington’s tenure, Midea has expanded its market presence across Major Appliances, Home Comfort, Floor Care and Small Appliances, and significantly expanded its customer base.
“Since joining Midea America Corporation in January 2024, John’s impact has been immediate and profound,” said Avant Bai, President of Midea Americas Region. “Under his leadership, our business has achieved remarkable growth and evolved into a true full-home solutions provider. Beyond his strategic vision, John’s exceptional mentorship has deeply inspired our team. We are incredibly grateful for his contributions to strengthening Midea’s market position and wish him the best in his next chapter.”
Herrington will serve as an advisor to MAC through the end of the year with plans to support a seamless handoff to the next generation of MAC leadership. A distinguished executive with more than 42 years of experience in the home appliances and consumer electronics industry, Herrington spent nearly three years transforming Midea into one of the fastest-growing appliance brands in the U.S. market.
“It has been an incredible honor to lead Midea America Corporation and work alongside such a talented team,” said Herrington. “Together, we have successfully scaled our footprint and established Midea as one of the industry’s fastest-growing brands. I have the utmost confidence in Midea’s future and look forward to supporting Avant and the team through a smooth transition.”
“We are confident the successor will carry the company into its next phase of growth, building on the strong foundation, team, and strategy Herrington put in place,” said Avant.
