Conrad Goodkind, Brady Corporation’s chairman of the board, is retiring effective May 21, 2021. Goodkind has been a key contributor to Brady’s growth, working with Brady in a variety of capacities for the past 37 years.
He began as securities counsel for Brady’s initial public offering in 1984, and served as the company’s outside counsel for many years and ultimately serving as chairman of the board.
Brady’s Board of Directors elected Bradley C. Richardson, a current director, to replace Goodkind as chairman upon his retirement.
A member of the Company’s Board of Directors since 2007, Richardson has previously served as EVP and CFO of Avient Corporation, EVP and CFO of Diebold, Inc., and as EVP corporate strategy and CFO of Modine Manufacturing. Prior to Modine, he spent 21 years with BP Amoco, serving in various financial and operational roles.
“Brady Corporation is an excellent organization and I’m proud to be a member of its Board of Directors, and to continue forward in an expanded role as chairman,” said Richardson.
“On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Conrad for his strong leadership and dedicated service to Brady as Chairman,” said J. Michael Nauman, Brady’s president and CEO. “I look forward to Brad’s expanded role as the chairman of our Board of Directors. With Brad’s leadership, I believe we are well-positioned to execute on strategies to drive growth in sales and earnings over the long-term.”
