After conducting a national search to fill the seat, Kevin Lawlor of the Fairfield University class of 1979 will fill the role, a press release on the school's website said.
Lawlor graduated from Fairfield University with a degree in business. He has spent more than 25 years in senior executive roles at United Technologies Corporation and most recently as vice president and general manager of AAR’s Precision Systems in Alabama. He completed his MBA at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, studied strategic cost management at Harvard Business School and received an M.S. in taxation from the University of New Haven.
"Mr. Lawlor's skill and expertise in managing and growing a major multinational corporation – a corporation made up of a number of business units, all with their own unique products and strengths – make him ideally suited to serve his alma mater as executive vice president,” von Arx said in a statement.
In a statement commenting on his new position, Lawlor said, "I am thrilled to be returning to the Fairfield campus and the vibrant community that has always made it such a special place.”
