"We are confident that her management of our marketing and sales functions will continue this success given her broad knowledge and understanding of all areas of our company worldwide."

In 1997, she became the manager of this important function. In 1998, Schyvinck was promoted to Vice President of Corporate Quality. In 2000, her responsibilities were expanded, and she advanced to the position of Vice President of Operations before being promoted to Executive Vice President of Operations in 2004.
