The Ohio Department of Commerce Division of Industrial Compliance welcomes Robb Coventry as its new superintendent.
Coventry succeeds Geoff Eaton, who retired last month, and brings more than 30 years of experience as a professional architect and planner to the position.

Leading a division that is critical to the safe and equitable advancement of industry in Ohio, is very rewarding and exciting as an architect and resident of Ohio,” Coventry said.

He will continue to build on our momentum within the division concentrating on process improvement and stakeholder relations."
