“I want to thank Ken for his contributions to our company over the past three years,” said Chair and Chief Executive Officer Brian Chambers. “Under Ken’s leadership, we have strengthened the capability of our global finance team and consistently delivered our financial targets as we bring our enterprise strategy to life.”

“I’ve worked closely with Todd over the past several years and am excited to welcome him to the CFO role.” Mr. Chambers added, “Todd brings a broad set of financial, operational, and strategic experiences and capabilities to the new role, along with invaluable customer perspective, that will be critical as we continue to accelerate our growth and expand the earnings power of our company.”
