Hyde names new president, COO

Robert Scoble has been named president and chief operating officer of Hyde Tools Inc. Scoble succeeds Richard M. Clemence, who has stepped forward to lead the Hyde Group as chief executive officer. After more than 20 years of leadership in other privately held companies, Scoble joined the Hyde Group family of companies in 2005 as vice president of sales and marketing for Hyde Tools. In 2009 he was named executive vice president and chief operating officer. Over the last five years, Scoble has been credited with strengthening the Hyde brand, recruiting significant new leadership and creating a new global sales and marketing team for the company. He and his staff also have substantially increased the company’s share of revenue derived from new products. As president, he expects to continue his focus on Hyde brand growth and work closely with Hyde’s Canadian counterpart, A. Richard Tools, to strengthen their shared North American presence in surface preparation and finishing hand tools, paint application tools and related retail categories. ? www.hydetools.com
