Joy Global adds board member

Joy Global Inc., a provider of mining equipment and services for surface and underground mining, elected to its board of directors Ted L. Doheny II, the company’s executive vice president and CEO Mike Sutherlin’s successor when he retires.

“His experience in leading our underground mining machinery business over the past seven years and 21 years of prior experience with Ingersoll-Rand Co. in a series of senior executive positions, will complement and expand the capability of our board.” says John N. Hanson, Joy Global’s non-executive chairman. “Ted’s focus on growth and service will be especially important as we continue to look to global markets and our direct service model for growth opportunities.”

Doheny has served as executive vice president of the company as well as president and COO of the company’s Underground Mining business since joining Joy Global in 2006.
