Cantel Medical Corporation subsidiary, Crosstex International, Inc., today announced the retirement of Andrew Whitehead, effective August 1, 2017. Whitehead’s decision to retire will bring to an end a phenomenal 20-year career of continuous service with the Company.
Whitehead will transition to a part-time consultant role where he will continue to focus on the Company’s efforts to execute its aggressive acquisition strategy.
“Andy is a strong and experienced leader who has set a vision that will position us well in the future. His contributions, determination and work ethic have been highly instrumental to our success. Andy is a true professional and I look forward to continuing to work with him in his consultant role,” said Gary Steinberg, President of Crosstex International.
Whitehead has over 40 years’ experience and is a leader in the dental market. He joined Crosstex in 1996, and during his tenure, the Company saw substantial growth and his contributions to the Company have been highly instrumental to its success.
