Jim Knutzon, chairman of the board and outgoing acting CEO, said in a statement: “As we pass the torch from company founder, Dr. Stanley Rhodes, who built the company from the ground up with a pioneering vision, singular talent, and dedication to protecting people and the planet, the board is confident that Matt has what it takes to successfully lead SCS through the next chapter of its growth and service.”
