Bret Snyder, chairman of W. L. Gore & Associates, succeeded Jason Field as president and chief executive of the company on Oct. 9. Field will be staying through December for the transition. Snyder has been chairman since 2016 and will retain his seat on the board. He is the grandson of Gore’s founders, Bill and Vieve Gore, and began working for the company in 2008 – initially in Core Technology, where he developed materials for all product divisions.
