Dr. Morris will bring robust business leadership experience, as well as a legacy of successful product innovation, to the board.

Throughout his career, Dr. Morris has demonstrated a passion for product development that improves people’s lives. He has also led decentralized organizations, growing successful businesses and cultivating diverse and inclusive talent pipelines.
“I look forward to partnering with the Nordson board of directors and executive management team.
