In commenting on the announcement, Jeffrey S. Lorberbaum, Chairman and CEO of Mohawk said, "Chris has been an excellent partner in his role as Chief Operating Officer as we transitioned from a carpet manufacturer to a total flooring business including carpet, rugs, ceramic, laminate, stone, wood and vinyl products. He has contributed to improving the company's strategic initiatives, organization structure, personnel development, and execution in this role."

"In his new role, Chris will continue in the development and execution of the company's strategy to deliver increased value to our customers, employees and shareholders. Chris will promote further innovation in our products, processes, marketing and brands in all of our operations across the enterprise. He will work with me and all our leadership teams to deliver on our commitments to quality, efficiency, service and sustainability."
