“The board is pleased to welcome Kevin to Federal-Mogul, and we look

spent eight years, from 1995 to 2003, with Best Buy Co., a specialty
retailer of consumer electronics, office products, appliances and
software, serving as senior vice president in its procurement and

welcome Kevin and look forward to working with him to continue to
strengthen Federal-Mogul’s position as a preferred supplier to the
global independent aftermarket,” said Rainer Jueckstock, co-CEO of
