"I'm grateful for the Board's support in all that we've accomplished and I firmly believe it's the right time for me to think about the next chapter in my career. We've built an incredible team and a strong, global business. I'm looking forward to partnering closely with my Board colleagues during this transition, and to working with our teams to ensure we not only meet our strategic and financial commitments for 2016, but set ourselves up for a strong 2017 and beyond."
