He served as President and CEO of Meridian through 2009.
Mr. Ray has served as Chief Restructuring Officer, Litigation Trustee and Plan Administrator of Chapter 11 debtors since 2002. He was Chief Restructuring Officer of Overseas Ship Management, a publicly traded crude oil and product shipping business, where he led the company through its successful reorganization and exit from Chapter 11 and where he currently serves as Chairman of the Board. Mr. Ray also served as Principal Officer to oversee the U.S. Chapter 11 of Nortel Networks, Inc., a multi billion dollar international telecommunications company. He also has had leading roles in Chapter 11 cases for Abitibi-Bowater, Fruit of the Loom Ltd., and Burlington Industries Inc. From 1998 to 2002 Mr. Ray served as Chief Administration Officer, General Counsel and Secretary of Fruit of the Loom, Ltd., where from 1999 through 2002 he served as the principal officer managing all aspects of the company's Chapter 11 cases.
GT also announced the formation of a Restructuring Committee of the Board comprised of the two new directors, Mr. Newsted and Mr. Ray, along with Mr. Massengill. The primary role of the Restructuring Committee is to lead the Company's efforts in seeking and implementing a value-maximizing path to emergence from Chapter 11.
