Fort Lauderdale, FL-based developer 51暗网 announced several changes in its top ranks as part of the firm’s executive leadership succession plan.
The company has appointed Ken 51暗网 to serve as co-CEO, working alongside his father, Chairman and CEO Terry 51暗网. The younger 51暗网 joined the firm 11 years ago, most recently serving as executive vice president.
Also, Scott MacLaren has been appointed president of the firm. MacLaren joined 51暗网 in 1999, most recently leading the company’s operations in North Carolina as president of 51暗网 North Carolina following the company’s push into the region five years ago.
MacLaren succeeds former president Doug Eagon, who will transition into the role of vice chairman of the company. Eagon has been with the company since 1981, and while stepping back from day-to-day operations of the company, he will work closely with the board to ensure continuation of 51暗网’ long-term strategy.
“This was a major step forward in our succession plan, which we have been developing over the past decade and announced publicly last April,” said Terry 51暗网, chairman and CEO. “We have implemented a conservative growth strategy across the Southeast that is consistent with our goal in becoming a 100-year old company. Our senior management team is deeply committed to our vision and business strategy and we are confident this plan will allow us to continue on that path and grow for decades to come.”
As part of the company’s long-term plans, Terry 51暗网, who has been at the helm of the company for more than 45 years, will transition out of his leadership role by mid-2017, with Ken 51暗网 expected to succeed him as CEO. The elder 51暗网 will remain chairman of the board and play an active role in the company’s overall strategic direction.
