Mark Doak to Retire May 1, Padraig McDonnell to
lead Agilent CrossLab Group
Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today announced that Mark
Doak, Agilent senior vice president and president of the Agilent
CrossLab Group, has decided to retire on May 1, 2020. The company
has named Padraig McDonnell, currently vice president and general
manager, Chemistries and Supplies Division, to succeed him. Doak
will continue as an active member of the executive staff until his
retirement date, working with McDonnell to ensure a smooth
transition.
Mark Doak has had a successful 42-year career in the analytical
and scientific-instrument industry. He started his career with
Beckman Instruments and later joined Hewlett-Packard (Agilent’s
predecessor) in 1982. During his tenure with Agilent, he has held
various senior-management positions across marketing, quality and
services. Doak has led the Agilent CrossLab Group since 2014.
“Mark has been a key contributor to Agilent’s success for many
years,” said Mike McMullen, Agilent president and CEO. “His
leadership, knowledge and drive have helped make Agilent the
industry leader it is today. I personally want to thank Mark for
all that he has done to help lead our company and wish him all the
best in his retirement.
“I’m also extremely pleased that Padraig McDonnell has accepted
the role of leading our CrossLab Group upon Mark’s retirement. His
history as a key member of Mark’s team, combined with his
broad-based experience, track record of results and outstanding
leadership skills, make Padraig the ideal person to take on this
assignment. I have the utmost confidence he will continue to
produce the same high level of success that Mark has achieved.”
McDonnell has been with Agilent for 22 years and has served in a
variety of key sales and business-unit leadership positions. Prior
to his current role leading the Chemistries and Supplies Division
for the past three years, McDonnell was the vice president and
general manager of Agilent’s Life Science and Applied Markets Group
for Europe, the Middle East and India.
“While I was conflicted about retiring, Agilent and the Agilent
CrossLab Group are in a solid position to continue their positive
growth trajectories and the timing was right from an organizational
perspective,” Doak said. “I look forward to working closely with
Padraig in the coming months to help ensure a seamless
transition.”
