Following the resignation of Frank Tyneski as President, the IDSA spent five months seeking a replacement; the search is now over. Clive Roux, onetime design director for Philips, will be taking the helm.
Roux most recently was chief marketing officer for Baumgartens, the Atlanta-based, environmentally focused supplier of office supply products. Before that he ran his own consulting firm and spent 17 years as a design leader in Africa, Europe, Asia and the United States with Philips Design, a unit of the Dutch healthcare, lighting and consumer products giant Royal Philips Electronics....Like many trade associations, IDSA is faced with declining membership, which has fallen from roughly 3,300 to less than 2,800 over the past few years, and the challenges of remaining relevant to its constituents in an increasingly global environment.
IDSA stressed Roux's combination of design thinking and business management skills as vital to its future direction.
Roux will be introduced to the public in a couple of weeks, at the IDSA's upcoming international conference held in Miami.
