ARRIS International plc (NASDAQ: ARRS) today announced the retirement of Ronald M. Coppock, Executive Vice President, Global Marketing and Customer Operations – effective May 31, 2017.

Coppock, who has been with ARRIS for 26 years, plans to dedicate his time and focus in retirement to a number of personal, charitable interests – including the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Board, the National Incarceration Association, and the Auburn University Alumni Association.

ARRIS CEO Bruce McClelland, expressed his appreciation for Coppock's contributions to the company: "ARRIS's deep customer relationships and our globally recognized brand are testaments to Ron's vision and leadership in cultivating strategic partnerships and opportunities around the world. Ron has made an indelible impact and continues to inspire the People of ARRIS; and he will bring his passion and influence to the next phase of his career. We will miss him, and we wish him the best," said Bruce McClelland.

Coppock joined ARRIS through Antec, one of two ARRIS International Joint Venture parent companies. As a key member of ARRIS's Executive Leadership Team, Coppock played an instrumental role in transforming ARRIS into a global leader in entertainment and communications. He was part of the strategic team that successfully executed ARRIS's Motorola and Pace acquisitions – which more than tripled the company's size, broadening its global scale and establishing its leadership in important industry markets. For his contributions – spanning strategic roles across Global Sales, Customer Operations, and Marketing – Coppock was inducted into the Cable Pioneers in 2013.
