Klatell has served as a Director of our Company since September 2004 and our Chairman of the Board since May 2005.
TTM also announced that effective May 12, 2021, Rex D. Geveden has been appointed by the unanimous vote of the remaining Directors to serve as Chairman on the Company’s Board of Directors.

Geveden holds both a bachelor’s and master’s degrees in physics from Murray State University.
“We are very appreciative of the exceptional service of Rob Klatell over the years. We have benefitted immeasurably from his leadership as the Board’s Chairman and his many other contributions to the success of TTM, particularly as we strengthened our company through strategic acquisitions and divestitures aimed at further differentiating our leading position in the PCB industry,” said Tom Edman, President and CEO of TTM. “We are also pleased to have Rex take the helm as our next Chairman. His extensive background in industrial technology, coupled with his experience in the aerospace and defense sector, will bolster the Board’s capabilities as we look forward to the future for TTM.”
