CON-WAY INC. NAMES STEPHEN K. KRULL EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT, GENERAL COUNSEL
AND SECRETARY
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- April 27, 2011- Con-way Inc. (NYSE: CNW) announced today
that Stephen K. Krull has been named executive vice president, general
counsel and secretary.
Mr. Krull, 46, joins Con-way from Toledo, Ohio-based Owens Corning
(NYSE: OC), where he most recently served as senior vice president, general
counsel and secretary for this $5 billion global producer of residential and
commercial building materials, glass-fiber reinforcements and engineered
materials.
"We're pleased to welcome Steve to the Con-way team," said Douglas W.
Stotlar, Con-way president and CEO. "He brings valuable background and
business experience to the organization and we look forward to his
contributions." He will be based at Con-way's corporate headquarters in Ann
Arbor.
As Con-way's chief attorney, Mr. Krull assumes responsibility for
management of the company's legal staff, external legal resources, securities
law compliance, corporate governance, ethics and compliance matters,
financial transactions and general corporate legal matters. He also serves as
the company's Chief Privacy Officer and is a member of the executive
management team.
Mr. Krull served as a senior vice president and Owens Corning's chief
legal counsel since 2003. Over a 15-year career with Owens Corning he
advanced through a series of increasingly responsible positions including
division counsel, general counsel, North American Building Materials; vice
president and general counsel of operations; and vice president, corporate
communications.
Prior to Owens Corning, Mr. Krull was corporate counsel for A. B. Dick
Company, Chicago, and an associate attorney with Sidley & Austin, a Chicago
law firm where he specialized in commercial transactions.
Mr. Krull received his law degree from Chicago-Kent College of Law where
he graduated with high honors and was an editor of the Kent Law Review. He
earned his bachelor's degree in Business Administration from Eastern Illinois
University. Among his philanthropic activities, Mr. Krull previously served
as overall campaign chairman for the United Way of Greater Toledo in 2008,
the board of Habitat for Humanity of Ohio and currently serves on the board
of St. John's Jesuit High School and Academy in Toledo, Ohio.
Mr. Krull succeeds Jennifer W. Pileggi as Con-way's executive vice
president and chief legal counsel. With the recent relocation of corporate
functions to Ann Arbor, and the subsequent closing of Con-way's former San
Mateo, Calif. headquarters, Ms. Pileggi elected to conclude her career with
the company and remain on the West Coast. She continues for an interim
period in an advisory capacity to ensure effective transition of general
counsel duties to Mr. Krull.
"I want to thank Jennifer for her professionalism, strong leadership of
our legal operations and her notable contributions to Con-way's growth and
development over a well-regarded 15-year career with our organization," said
Stotlar. "On behalf of the Board and her colleagues, we wish her the best in
her future endeavors."
