NORTHVILLE, Mich., Oct. 3, 2017
NORTHVILLE, Mich., Oct. 3, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Gentherm Incorporated (NASDAQ-GS: THRM), the global market leader and a developer of innovative thermal management technologies, announced today that its Board of Directors has selected Phillip Eyler as the organization's next President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Eyler will also join the Gentherm Board of Directors.
"After a comprehensive search process, the Board is pleased to have found an extraordinary individual to assume leadership of our organization," said Francois Castaing, Chairman of the Board. "Phil has a track record of strong leadership and successful growth. He also has extensive experience taking next generation technologies to market within the automotive industry. This combination makes Phil uniquely qualified to lead Gentherm successfully into the future."
Since 2015, Eyler has served as President of the $3 billion Connected Car division at Harman, a subsidiary of Samsung. At Harman, Eyler oversaw an organization of more than 8,000 employees dedicated to the development of highly integrated connected car systems encompassing infotainment, telematics, connected safety and cyber security solutions, among others. Joining Harman in 1997, Eyler took on roles of ever-increasing responsibility. Prior to his current role, Eyler was Senior Vice-President and General Manager of Harman's Global Automotive Audio business starting in 2011, where he led a doubling of the business to over $1 billion through organic growth, acquisition and technology expansion. He has also led Harman's North American Automotive business and the North American and Asian Manufacturing group.
Eyler, 46, began his career at Siemens AG in the electromechanical components division. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree in mechanical engineering from Purdue University and an MBA from the Fuqua School of Business at Duke University.
"I am grateful to the Gentherm Board for the opportunity to lead this entrepreneurial, growing organization," said Eyler. "Gentherm's innovative solutions and growing product portfolio are very exciting and I am honored to have been selected to work with this group of talented and dedicated individuals. In addition to supporting the continued growth and technology leadership in Gentherm's core automotive business, I am enthusiastic about the prospect of expanding the company's business in other markets like medical, consumer, power generation and industrial."
Eyler will start in his new position with Gentherm on December 4, 2017. As previously announced, current Gentherm President and CEO, Daniel R. Coker, will retire at that time. Coker expressed confidence in the Board's choice. "Phil is a remarkable leader and extraordinary person and I expect he will do very well in his new position at Gentherm," said Coker.
"On behalf of the entire Board of Directors, I would like to thank Dan for his many years of dedication, vision and leadership," said Castaing. "Dan was uniquely responsible for building Gentherm into the company that it is today, and positioning the organization for continued growth in the future."
