Mr. Edman will become an advisor to the Chairman to assist with the CEO transition, which is expected to last until January 1, 2026, and will continue to serve on the Board and the Government Security Committee beyond that date.
In addition, the Company announced that Dr. Roks has been appointed by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) to serve as a Class II director on the Board, effective September 2, 2025. Dr. Roks fills the Class II director vacancy, with a term expiring at the Company’s 2026 annual meeting of stockholders.
Dr. Roks brings a wealth of experience in the aerospace and defense and industrial electronics industries, having most recently served as CEO of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated until April 2025. Dr. Roks was a strong contributor to Teledyne's growth in the digital imaging area, the advancement of technology across their business portfolio, and the successful integration of Teledyne’s largest acquisitions.
“We are excited to welcome Edwin to TTM as our next CEO and a member of our Board,” said Rex Geveden, Chair of the TTM Board of Directors. “Edwin’s proven leadership, deep industry knowledge, strong technical and operational expertise, and strategic vision make him the ideal leader to guide TTM into its next phase of growth and innovation.”
During his tenure at Teledyne, Dr. Roks was instrumental in expanding the company’s capabilities across critical markets, including aerospace & defense, industrial, and communications. His focus on operational excellence, customer engagement, and innovation aligns closely with TTM’s long-term goals.
“I am honored to join TTM Technologies at such an exciting time,” said Dr. Roks. “TTM has built a strong reputation as a technology leader and trusted partner across a wide range of industries. I look forward to working with the talented TTM team to build on this foundation and deliver continued value to our customers, shareholders, and employees.”

His global experience, technical depth, and commitment to excellence make him an outstanding choice to guide the company into its next chapter.”
