BUFFALO, N.Y. — The University at Buffalo School of Management honored John Scannell, chairman and CEO of Moog Inc., as the 2019 Buffalo Niagara Executive of the Year and recognized several alumni and business leaders at a reception on Nov. 7.
Scannell, who is just the third CEO in the $3 billion company’s history, accepted the award at the 70th Annual School of Management Alumni Association Awards Banquet at the Hyatt Regency in Buffalo.

Scannell was selected by a vote of past honorees and the alumni association’s board of directors, who lauded him as a humble leader who brings diverse stakeholders together and has helped propel Moog’s steady growth over the past several years.
“Under John’s leadership, the company has successfully navigated political uncertainty, demographic shifts and changing technology to grow all of its segments,” Paul Tesluk, dean of the UB School of Management, said during his remarks. “John is highly regarded in the business community, and he exemplifies the qualities sought in our honorees.”
