KANSAS
CITY, Mo., Aug. 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- CRB, a
leading international provider of engineering, architecture,
construction and consulting services for the life science and food
and beverage industries, announced today that Ryan Schroeder has retired as CRB's President
and Chief Executive Officer. Lee
Emel, who currently serves as the Company's Vice President
of Regional Operations, Southeast, and who has nearly three decades
of industry experience, will lead the company as interim President
and CEO. The Company has retained an executive search firm to find
a permanent President and CEO.
Jeff Biskup, Founder and
Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors, said, "We owe
Ryan Schroeder an enormous debt of
gratitude for his more than 30 years of service to CRB. On behalf
of the entire CRB team, I wish to thank him for his many
contributions to our organization."
"Very few people get to start and finish their career with the
same company. I'm one of those fortunate few. I began my
journey at CRB as a design engineer straight out of college, and
now over 36 years later I'm humbled to close this chapter as
President and CEO," Schroeder said. "CRB is a special place and
I'll always bleed the culture and spirit that embodies our
people. I am thrilled that Lee
Emel has agreed to guide the company during this transition,
and we could not be in better hands. He's truly a visionary
and inspirational leader."
In announcing Emel's appointment, Biskup stated, "Lee is a
thought leader in the biotech and pharmaceutical industry. He has
demonstrated that he has the leadership skills and experience to
ensure that CRB continues as a premier provider to our clients and
position us for long-term success in the future."
"I am honored to take on the role of CEO and lead our company
into its next chapter," Emel said. "Over the past 25 years, it has
been my privilege to be part of CRB's growth – working side-by-side
with some of the best AEC professionals in our industry."
