Officer.
Goodman Global Group, Inc. (Goodman), a leading
manufacturer and distributor of HVAC (heating,
ventilation and air conditioning) products, announced
that, effective April 17, 2014, it has named Takeshi
Ebisu the President and Chief Executive Officer of
Goodman and a member of its Board of Directors. Ebisu
brings more than 25 years of experience in the HVAC
industry. Current President and Chief Executive Officer,
David L. Swift, will continue to support the Daikin
Group in an advisory role and will be taking a
consulting position outside of the industry.
"I am thrilled to become Goodman’s new President and
Chief Executive Officer," said Ebisu. "Goodman and
Daikin are uniquely positioned. When Goodman became a
member of the Daikin Group in 2012, an organization with
unrivaled potential was created. I am very proud to lead
the Goodman team in pursuing business opportunities and
serving customers.”
David Swift added, “Daikin has selected an outstanding
successor. Mr. Ebisu has been a key contributor to
Daikin and has a firm grasp of Goodman’s business. He
was instrumental in the acquisition of Goodman in late
2012. We have just concluded an excellent fiscal year
which will serve as a solid foundation for Goodman’s
future success. I feel very privileged to have served as
Goodman’s CEO for six years and I look forward to
supporting the continued growth of Daikin in my new
advisory role.”
