Shure President Announces Retirement
Santo (Sandy) LaMantia, President and Chief Executive Officer of Shure Incorporated, has announced his retirement.
Christine (Chris) Schyvinck, current Executive Vice President of Global Operations, Marketing, and Sales and Chief Operating Officer, will succeed him as President and CEO. Effective 1 January, 2016, Schyvinck will take on the added title of President. She will serve in this role until her appointment as President and CEO on 1 July, 2016.
LaMantia joined Shure in November 1995 as Vice President of Engineering and was later appointed President and CEO in May 1996. For 20 years, LaMantia has contributed to the company's strategic growth, brought market industry-leading innovations, and expanded its global footprint.
Commenting on his retirement, LaMantia said: "My time at Shure has been not only a privilege, but a dream come true – combining my truest passions: music and engineering. It has been an honor to serve at the helm of a Company that sets the bar for integrity, quality, innovation, and cooperation. Today, Shure enjoys outstanding growth, and now with a solid transition in place, the timing is right for me to step aside and spend more time with my family. Having someone with Chris' skills, experience, and natural leadership – ready to take the reins, has made my decision all the easier."
Schyvinck joined Shure in 1989 and led the Operations Division before leading Global Marketing and Sales in 2006. More recently, she was promoted to Executive Vice President of Global Operations, Marketing, and Sales and Chief Operating Officer.
"It is an honor to be named Sandy's successor," she said. "Over the years, Sandy and I have worked closely to drive the vision for the Company's growth, and I'm confident that we've already built a strong foundation that will see us far into the future. I'm delighted that Sandy will be here for the next nine months, helping me transition into this new role. Shure has long established its position in the marketplace as an innovator focused on unmatched quality and reliability. With our talented team of Associates around the world, I'm confident we will continue to bring this vision to life, and move the Company forward. I'm humbled to step into this new role, excited by the challenge, and thankful to the Shure Board of Directors for its support."
