"Not only am I excited to enter an industry that enables its customers to advance and push the limits of science, but I’m very proud to join the industry's technology and customer support leader, and to be given the opportunity to lead a remarkable group of people,” O’Connell said in a statement.
Retiring CEO Douglas Berthiaume will continue in his role as chairman of Waters' Board of Directors.

Salice, lead director for Waters Corporation, said. “Impressively, the corporation has experienced a 35-fold increase in share value since Doug led the effort taking the company public in November 1995. We offer our heartfelt gratitude to Doug and look forward to his continued role as Chairman."
