Mr. Krull, 46, joins Con-way from Toledo, Ohio-based Owens Corning (NYSE: OC),
where he most recently served as senior vice president, general
counsel and secretary for this $5
billion global producer of residential and commercial
building materials, glass-fiber reinforcements and engineered
materials.
"We're pleased to welcome Steve to the Con-way team," said
Douglas W. Stotlar, Con-way
president and CEO. "He brings valuable background and business
experience to the organization and we look forward to his
contributions." He will be based at Con-way's corporate
headquarters in Ann Arbor.
As Con-way's chief attorney, Mr. Krull assumes responsibility
for management of the company's legal staff, external legal
resources, securities law compliance, corporate governance, ethics
and compliance matters, financial transactions and general
corporate legal matters. He also serves as the company's Chief
Privacy Officer and is a member of the executive management
team.
Mr. Krull served as a senior vice president and Owens Corning's
chief legal counsel since 2003. Over a 15-year career with
Owens Corning he advanced through a series of increasingly
responsible positions including division counsel, general counsel,
North American Building Materials; vice president and general
counsel of operations; and vice president, corporate
communications.
Prior to Owens Corning, Mr. Krull was corporate counsel for A.
B. Dick Company, Chicago, and an
associate attorney with Sidley & Austin, a Chicago law firm where he specialized in
commercial transactions.
Mr. Krull received his law degree from Chicago-Kent College of
Law where he graduated with high honors and was an editor of the
Kent Law Review. He earned his bachelor's degree in Business
Administration from Eastern Illinois
University. Among his philanthropic activities, Mr.
Krull previously served as overall campaign chairman for the United
Way of Greater Toledo in 2008, the
board of Habitat for Humanity of Ohio and currently serves on the board of St.
John's Jesuit High School and Academy in Toledo, Ohio.
Mr. Krull succeeds Jennifer W.
Pileggi as Con-way's executive vice president and chief
legal counsel. With the recent relocation of corporate
functions to Ann Arbor, and the
subsequent closing of Con-way's former San Mateo, Calif. headquarters, Ms. Pileggi
elected to conclude her career with the company and remain on the
West Coast. She continues for an interim period in an
advisory capacity to ensure effective transition of general counsel
duties to Mr. Krull.
"I want to thank Jennifer for her professionalism, strong
leadership of our legal operations and her notable contributions to
Con-way's growth and development over a well-regarded 15-year
career with our organization," said Stotlar. "On behalf of the
Board and her colleagues, we wish her the best in her future
endeavors."
