John A. Carrig, the company’s president and chief operating officer, announced his intention to retire at the end of February 2011. In the meantime, he will continue as president and assist with the transition of the executive team.
“John has been a member of the senior management team for many years,” Mulva said. “His contributions have significantly increased the company’s ability to accomplish many of its strategic goals, and we will miss him.”
In addition to Meyers, Sigmund L. Cornelius, senior vice president, Finance and chief financial officer, and Stephen R. Brand, senior vice president, Technology, will retire from the company at the end of the year.
