I look forward to working closely with Gene, gaining his insights, and continuing our rapid growth towards market leadership in the test labs segment worldwide.”
Storm added, “Gene’s executive replacement in Europe and South America is Marzia Turrini, who provides the important leadership continuity that BMM, its clients, regulators and the markets are looking for. Marzia, like Travis Foley, Kirk White and Gene, has developed her leadership skills more fully at BMM by building new businesses successfully, and managing existing ones. I am proud of her progress and success. I am blessed to have such talent, commitment and integrity in this business leadership group.”
Chayevsky concluded, “I am excited to take on this new global role at BMM and to work more closely with such an inspirational leader as Storm. The next phase of BMM’s growth is in our core testing and certification business as well as our new exciting business adjacencies, such as cybersecurity. I am very proud of the work that our European and South American teams have done over the past several years and am confident that under Marzia’s leadership, we will continue to meet the many challenges that still remain, as our European business continues its rapid growth.
