Sheridan, Wyoming Aug 10, 2023 (Issuewire.com) - Kennon, a leading manufacturer of protective covers for military aircraft and ligature-resistant doors for behavioral healthcare, announces the promotion of Becky Cooper, PE to CEO. After fourteen years, Joe Wright, PE is stepping down from Kennon to take a leadership position at Sheridan Memorial Hospital.

Cooper came to Kennon after working as an industrial engineer at Boeing and Exotic Metals Forming in Washington state. At Kennon, she's worked as the Executive Vice President, demonstrating a deep understanding of the company's values, culture, and aspirations. Her technical expertise, commitment to a collaborative environment, and continuous pursuit of quality have earned her the trust and respect of customers and employees. As the incoming CEO, she will build upon the solid foundation laid by her predecessor, steering Kennon toward continued success and more remarkable achievements.

Wright said of Cooper, "No one knows the company, our technology, people, and markets better than Becky. She's earned this promotion. I'm leaving the company in her competent hands."

Cooper said of the promotion, "I enjoy leading the team here and believe whole-heartedly in our mission. I never set out to be the CEO, but I'm excited for this new chapter in my life and career." She added, "During this transition, I've received much trust and support from Joe and the employee-owners. I look forward to leading this company in the years to come."

Wright is embarking on a new chapter as the Chief Operating Officer (COO) at Sheridan Memorial Hospital. This move marks a remarkable career progression for Wright. An unwavering commitment, exceptional leadership, and a relentless pursuit of excellence characterize his tenure at Kennon. Over the years, he has spearheaded groundbreaking initiatives, including overseeing the company's conversion to an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP). Under his guidance, Kennon has achieved remarkable milestones, such as developing the company's PMAC product line for military aircraft and creating the Kennon Soft Suicide Prevention Door (SSPD).
