“Amy is an exceptional leader with deep operational, financial and management expertise,” said Watson. “In addition to focusing on driving innovation and growth, Amy is known for building high-performing teams, developing talent and fostering an inclusive and diverse culture. I’m thrilled to have Amy join our leadership team in this role.”

According to a press release, Lynch has received many honors and recognitions over the years.
