Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW) today announced that its vice
chairman and corporate development officer, Lawrence D. McRae, who
has been with the company for nearly four decades, will retire at
the end of the year. McRae will continue in his current role and
remain on Corning’s Senior Leadership Team until his retirement.
“Larry has long been a trusted and valued advisor to me – even
before he joined Corning. He’s played a pivotal role in shaping the
company’s evolution over his 38 years of service – contributing to
our past successes and helping build a strong future,” said Wendell
P. Weeks, chairman and chief executive officer.
Weeks continued, “Larry has served as a key player on many of
the most transformative and strategic decisions in the company’s
recent history, and the board and I deeply appreciate his
leadership and contributions. We wish him all the best in
retirement.”
As vice chairman and corporate development officer, McRae
implemented strategies related to Corning’s business portfolio,
partner agreements, and mergers and acquisitions. Some recent
achievements include the acquisition of Samsung Corning Precision
Materials, the strategic realignment of Corning’s ownership
interest in Dow Corning Corporation, and Corning’s majority
ownership position in Hemlock Semiconductor.
McRae joined the company in 1985 and has held a broad range of
leadership positions in finance, sales, marketing, and general
management across Corning.
He has led Corporate Development at Corning since 2000 and has
been a member of the company’s Senior Leadership Team (formerly its
Management Committee) since 2007, becoming vice chairman in
2015.
Remarking on his retirement, McRae said, “It’s truly been an
honor to work for such a life-changing company, and I am extremely
fortunate to have spent my career here, working with some of the
greatest minds and leaders in the corporate landscape. Corning has
a bright future ahead, and I look forward to watching the next
generation of leaders drive our ongoing progress.”
