IPC – Association Connecting Electronics Industries® is seeking an outstanding individual to become its next President and Chief Executive Officer. The candidate will succeed current CEO Denny McGuirk, who leaves on November 3, 2011 to become president of SEMI, the global industry association serving the nano- and microelectronics manufacturing supply chains.
The executive search firm Korn/Ferry International has been retained for the search. IPC is a global trade association headquartered in Bannockburn (Chicago), Illinois.

IPC maintains additional offices in Taos, New Mexico; Arlington, Virginia; Stockholm, Moscow, Bangalore, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Beijing.
As the chief executive of the association, the President and CEO is responsible for providing strategic leadership and vision by working with the Board of Directors and other stakeholders to establish long-range goals, strategies, plans and policies.

“I am privileged to have led IPC through some very challenging times over the past 12 years and to have worked with such dynamic individuals on our Board. I am very proud of what we have achieved, especially in broadening IPC’s global reach. I will miss the many friends I’ve made in the industry and I look forward to seeing IPC’s future success,” said McGuirk.
“It was my pleasure to work closely with Denny on developing strategies and future plans for IPC.
