DOWNERS GROVE, Ill. – Dover Corporation (NYSE:), a diversified global manufacturer, announced a reshuffling of its leadership roles, with Richard J. Tobin, the current President and CEO, being appointed as Chairman of the Board starting from February 10, 2024. Concurrently, Michael F. Johnston, who has been serving as the Chairman since 2016, will take on the role of lead independent director.
Tobin, who has been a part of Dover’s Board since 2016 and CEO since 2018, will now hold dual roles within the company. His appointment as Chairman is seen as a testament to the Board’s confidence in Dover’s strategic direction and strength. Johnston, who has been a director since 2013, will continue to contribute to the company’s governance in his new role, ensuring independent oversight.
The company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines have been amended to facilitate these changes, particularly to define the duties of the Lead Independent Director, a position necessitated by the Chairman not being independent.
Dover, with annual revenues exceeding $8 billion, operates across various sectors, including Engineered Products, Clean Energy & Fueling, Imaging & Identification, Pumps & Process Solutions, and Climate & Sustainability Technologies.
