LANGHORNE, Pa., July 8, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- MMS Education is excited to announce several
significant changes in leadership. Effective June 30, 2024, Susan
Meell will be retiring as CEO of MMS Education completing a
succession plan the leadership team began several years ago. As of
July 1, 2024, Suzanne Caimi Lynn, who has been Chief Business
Officer since 2017 and President since 2019, will become CEO and
will transition from minority to majority stockholder. Karen Ellis, Chief Strategy Officer, and
Principal will continue in her leadership role while other members
of the leadership team, Bridget
LeBender, Melissa Butensky,
and Maria Slabaugh will join Suzanne
and Karen as officers of the company.
When asked about the retirement, Meell said, "When I joined
MMS Education 38 years ago as a marketing manager, little did I
know what the future would hold. It has been such a wonderful
experience and I'm filled with gratitude and deep appreciation for
all the clients, employees, and different entities we have worked
with over the years. Now is the right time for this transition and
I'm so proud of the entire team, and especially the leadership team
for all they have accomplished. We are now moving into the third
generation of management since Ed
Meell founded the company over 47 years ago. It is extremely
fulfilling to know MMS Education will continue to partner with
clients that want to make a positive difference by advancing
learning, wellbeing, and equity in U.S. schools and communities. I
know the company is in great hands and will continue the legacy
started over four decades ago."
Looking ahead to the future, new CEO Suzanne Caimi Lynn said, "What we do at MMS
Education is deeply meaningful to me personally and I am honored
and grateful to Susan for her leadership and to have the
opportunity to lead MMS Education into the next chapter. I am
especially excited to continue to work with our outstanding team
and exceptional clients and to build on our impact for years to
come."
