CHASM Advanced Materials Inc, a leading developer and manufacturer of proprietary advanced materials hybridized at the nanoscale, announced the appointment of Mark Lunsford as Vice President of Global Sales to lead CHASM’s sales operations. An accomplished tech industry executive, Lunsford has more than 35 years of experience and has helped drive rapid growth for companies ranging from start-ups to multi-billion-dollar enterprises. Lunsford reports to CHASM's Chief Revenue Officer, Kenneth Klapproth.
In this role, Lunsford assumes responsibility for worldwide revenue generation of the Company’s Printed Electronics, Advanced Carbons, and Advanced Membranes business units. In addition to direct sales, Mark heads commercial operation of CHASM’s Preferred Integration Partner (PIP) network and international distribution partner including Henkel, CCI Eurolam, A-Gas, Meisei and Daekyung Hichem Co, Ltd.
“Mark is joining CHASM at an opportune time with customer interest nearly doubling year-over-year to the point where our funnel of sales opportunities exceeds $100 million,” said David Arthur, CHASM CEO and Co-Founder. “We have reached a tipping point in both direct sales and through our channels where a strong sales leader such as Mark can drive scalability in our process. His deep experience in the industry and familiarity with the cultural differences of selling internationally will be instrumental to achieving our vision and reaching our business growth objectives.”
Prior to joining CHASM, Lunsford served as EVP of Worldwide Sales at SiTime, a market leader in silicon MEMS timing devices used in nearly all electronics today. Consistently outpacing industry growth rates at companies such as NXT, Micrel Semiconductor, AMD and Pivotal Technologies, Mark has a strong track record of driving productive business development teams.
“I am fascinated by CHASM’s tremendous technology platform, and I am convinced it addresses a substantial market need for any company looking to innovate next-generation electronic devices. I am extremely excited to join the talented team at CHASM as we are uniquely positioned to deliver cutting edge printed electronics solutions to disrupt the status quo within this industry,” said Mark Lunsford.

09/05/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007It’s almost fall here in Atlanta, and that means that the temperature is finally dropping. And it quit raining! It’s been raining since March, and I’m so over it, as the social influencers say. Last night we grilled out on the deck, and it wasn’t hot, and we didn’t get rained on. Life is good. It was a busy week in the industry. In this installment of my must-reads, we say goodbye to Walt Custer, the man who made PCB data points interesting for the rest of us.
UHDI Fundamentals: UHDI Technology and Industry 4.0

08/29/2025 | Nolan Johnson, I-Connect007This week, we bring you Global Electronics Association’s Chris Mitchell’s government relations column on—you guessed it—trade deals. TTM is balancing its facilities between East and West. The Global Electronics Association released July numbers for North American PCB shipments, and the news is good. Meanwhile, the corresponding report for EMS might seem like bad news, but that’s misleading. Be sure to look deeper for the rest of the story. Finally, for a bit space-science palate cleansing, I’m sharing news of the latest launch of NASA’s X-37B.
