RTI names new president, new positions

RTI Electronics has restructured positions within the company, including the appointment of a new president.

Ulf Toll, co-owner, has stepped down from his position as president, into the role as product manager. Ivan Rylander, chairman of the company’s board of directors, will take the helm as president, effective immediately.

Gunnar Viden has been appointed chairman of the board in Rylander’s stead.

“Rylander, because of his relationship to RTI Electronics, already has a good understanding of the company and the industry. His resume brings a solid experience in developing, building and promoting positive growth for several companies,” said Toll.

Additionally, the company created another new position, business development key account manager, to which Lars Herrnsdorf has been assigned.
