Ms. Helmkamp has served as an independent director and member of
the IDEX Board since November 2015, and as a member of multiple
Board committees, including as Chair of the Nominating and
Corporate Governance Committee. As President and CEO of Cartus
Corporation, the relocation services subsidiary of Anywhere Real
Estate Inc., and in her previous roles as CEO of Lenox Corporation
and Vice President Global Refrigeration for Whirlpool Corporation,
she has gained extensive global business experience, with operating
leadership skills and experience across multiple markets and
technologies.
“The impact of IDEX’s highly engineered products used in
mission-critical applications can be seen in so many industries
worldwide. I am committed to and proud to support IDEX in its
continued success,” Ms. Helmkamp said.
Ms. Helmkamp succeeds William M. Cook, who after fourteen years
of serving on the IDEX Board has announced his intention to retire.
Mr. Cook has been an invaluable contributor to the Board of
Directors and the company, serving in various leadership roles
including as a member and Chair of the Audit Committee, Lead
Director, and most recently, as Non-Executive Chairman of the
Board.
Ms. Helmkamp continued, “It is no surprise that the National
Association of Corporate Directors (NACD) named Bill Cook its
‘Public Company Director of the Year’ in 2021. His presence will be
greatly missed by the Board, and I am honored to continue the work
to support IDEX in creating value for shareholders and innovative
and valued solutions for customers.”
Mr. Cook noted, “What first attracted me to the IDEX Board of
Directors remains there today. It is a world-class Board, bringing
together highly intelligent and results-driven business executives
in a very collaborative culture, where everyone always brings their
‘best game.’ Katrina is a natural choice to be the next Chair of
the Board of Directors. She has what it takes to be an outstanding
leader.”
“As we look to the future, I am excited to continue working with
Katrina to build on IDEX’s long track record of success,” said Eric
D. Ashleman, CEO and President of IDEX Corporation. “I also want to
thank Bill, on behalf of the entire organization, for the
remarkable leadership and unwavering encouragement he has provided
during his 14 years of service on the IDEX Board.”
With Mr. Cook’s departure, effective October 1, 2022, the size
of the Board will decrease from 11 to 10 directors.
