April 26, 2012
CommScope has reorganized its business unit management structure around three key customer segments, while naming new heads for each.

Network cabling and communications infrastructure supplier CommScope has reorganized its business unit management structure around three key customer segments -- enterprise, wireless and broadband -- and has named new heads for each, effective immediately.

Kevin St. Cyr has joined CommScope as senior vice president, enterprise solutions, where he will lead engineering, R&D and product line management. St. Cyr comes to CommScope from Berk-Tek, a Nexans company, at which he was president since 1998 and senior vice president of marketing and sales from 1996-1998. St. Cyr has also held various management positions at Champlain Cable, a subsidiary of Huber + Suhner, and General Electric. He holds a bachelor’s degree in plastics engineering from the University of Massachusetts, Lowell and a master’s degree in business administration from the Pennsylvania State University.

“Kevin is the perfect choice to head our enterprise segment,” commented Randy Crenshaw, chief operating officer, CommScope. “He is widely known within this market for his expertise, success and leadership capabilities. I welcome Kevin to CommScope and look forward to the positive impact he will make on our team and the customers we serve.”

Morgan Kurk, who previously headed CommScope’s enterprise segment, has been named senior vice president, wireless. He will have responsibility for product line management, engineering and R&D for the segment that serves wireless operators and OEMs. Kurk has more than 15 years experience in the wireless industry, including senior roles with Andrew Corporation, Allen Telecom and Motorola. He has a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from Brown University and master’s degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Michigan and business administration from Northwestern University.

Ric Johnsen will continue as CommScope's senior vice president, broadband, leading the business responsible for serving cable multisystem operators and other broadband network providers. Johnsen, who joined CommScope in 2010, previously held senior management positions with Alcatel, OFS and AllOptic. He has a master’s degree in electrical engineering with an emphasis in communications engineering from the US Naval Postgraduate School and a bachelor’s degree in engineering from the US Military Academy at West Point.

“By reorganizing our management support structure around key verticals -- at home, at work, and on the go -- we can best leverage CommScope’s deep, broad capabilities around the world and deliver better integrated solutions to our customers,” said Crenshaw. “Ric, Morgan and Kevin are three strong leaders who will help us build upon CommScope’s excellent market positions and take advantage of the many opportunities ahead of us.”
