Andrew Etkind
SCHAFFHAUSEN, Switzerland, April 8,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Garmin Ltd. (NYSE: GRMN),
announced today that Garmin veteran Andrew
Etkind is stepping down from the role of General Counsel
effective July 1, 2024. Etkind will
continue to serve as Vice President and Secretary for Garmin Ltd.
with Josh Maxfield assuming the role
of Vice President, General Counsel and Assistant Secretary.
Etkind joined Garmin in 1998 as the company's first General
Counsel. He was a key contributor in Garmin's initial public
offering and has developed a strong global in-house legal team with
expertise in a broad range of legal and business matters including
intellectual property, litigation, compliance, contract
negotiation, mergers and acquisitions, and corporate
governance.
Since joining Garmin in 2006, Maxfield has held roles with
increasing responsibilities and is currently serving as an
Associate General Counsel and Assistant Secretary. He has
worked closely with Etkind on significant legal and business
matters that have uniquely prepared him for the role of General
Counsel, including international corporate law, securities law,
mergers and acquisitions, compliance, data privacy and
cybersecurity, and corporate governance. Prior to joining Garmin,
Maxfield was a member of the corporate and transactions practice
group at the Polsinelli law firm in Kansas City.
"Andrew Etkind has been at the
forefront of the most consequential business and legal matters that
shaped Garmin into the company it is today. On behalf of our
leadership team and our Board of Directors, we are deeply grateful
for Andrew's significant contributions over the years and look
forward to his ongoing service. I have worked closely with
Josh Maxfield for many years on our
most important legal and business matters and appreciate him as a
strong, yet humble leader, and as a versatile hands-on contributor.
I have full confidence in Josh, and I congratulate him on his new
role." —Cliff Pemble, President and CEO
