His focus on developing high-performing teams, disciplined approach to strategy and execution and ability to identify and integrate strategic acquisitions have created lasting value for our customers, employees and shareholders. As John transitions his role, I have great confidence in Eric and the D&M leadership team, and I believe the segment is very well positioned to continue its strong momentum.”
