Thursday, April 15, 2010

Cleveland, Ohio—The Board of Directors of MAGNET, the Manufacturing Advocacy & Growth Network, today announced that Dan Berry has accepted their offer to become the full-time president and Chief Executive Officer of MAGNET.

Berry was named MAGNET’s interim president and CEO last October. He continued to perform duties as an executive vice president of strategy, membership and marketing for the Greater Cleveland Partnership for several months as he transitioned to the top position at MAGNET.

In announcing Berry as MAGNET’s permanent and full-time president and chief executive officer, MAGNET Chairman of the Board and President and Chief Executive Officer of Swagelok Company Arthur F. Anton said, “It is with great pleasure that I can report that Dan Berry has agreed to remain with MAGNET. In a very short time, Dan has strongly impressed the Board, our employees and clients and the many public and private agencies we work with each day to help manufacturers stay competitive in today’s global marketplace.

“We at MAGNET are grateful to the Greater Cleveland Partnership for allowing us the opportunity to transition Dan from one of their top leadership posts to the top position here at MAGNET. Both organizations believe that the region’s manufacturing community will be better served by having Dan lead MAGNET at this very critical time.”

“I am delighted that the Board has asked me to continue at MAGNET and look forward to working with all the parties necessary to keep manufacturing what it always has been in this area—a significant part of this region’s economy,” said Berry.
