Stoneridge’s current president and chief executive officer, Jon DeGaynor, has elected to resign from the Company and the Company’s Board of Directors for personal reasons.

Bill Lasky, chairman of Stoneridge’s Board of Directors commented, “Jim joined Stoneridge in 2020 as president of the Control Devices division and has played an integral role in developing and executing on the strategic priorities, product development and technical vision for both Control Devices and Stoneridge more broadly. Jim brings a wealth of knowledge and experience, and we are fortunate to have a proven business leader and experienced executive step into the CEO role. The Board has the utmost confidence in the team’s ability to advance Stoneridge’s strategic priorities under Jim’s leadership.”

“Jon has brought extraordinary energy and dedication to his role as president and chief executive officer of Stoneridge.

The Board thanks him for his time at Stoneridge and wishes him well in the future,” continued Mr. Lasky.

It has been a privilege working with Jon during Stoneridge’s transformation and I look forward to building on our success as we continue to execute on our long-term strategy. Over the coming months, my focus will be on executing our strategic plan and ensuring a seamless transition for our customers, employees, and stakeholders.”
