General Cable announced that Robert Siverd will retire from his role as general counsel and secretary.

Siverd, who has served as general counsel for the last 22 years, will continue in this role until a successor has been named in order to facilitate an orderly transition of his responsibilities. The company said it expects to complete this transition in the second half of this year. After that time, Siverd will work with the company on a consultative, or project-specific basis.

General Cable develops, designs, manufactures, markets, and distributes copper, aluminum, and fiber optic wire and cable products for the energy, industrial, and communications markets.
