Jabil Inc. announced a number of senior leadership transitions that are effective immediately. Michael Dastoor, who has been serving as Chief Financial Officer and Interim CEO, has been appointed Chief Executive Officer. He succeeds Kenneth Wilson, who will no longer serve as Chief Executive Officer or on Jabil’s Board of Directors. Gregory Hebard, most recently Senior Vice President, Treasurer, has been appointed Chief Financial Officer. These actions follow the completion of the investigation related to corporate policies, which Jabil initially disclosed on April 18, 2024. This investigation did not relate to, and does not impact, the Company’s financial statements or financial reporting.
Mark Mondello, Executive Chairman of Jabil’s Board, said, “I have worked side-by-side with Mike for many years. I’m most confident in Mike’s abilities and appreciate his depth of experience. He has a complete understanding of the business and our people. Mike also carries an intense respect for our culture.
“I am humbled by the trust that our Board has placed in me. I have tremendous pride in this Company and am fully committed to delivering results for our customers, our employees, and our investors in collaboration with all our partners,” said Dastoor. “We have an exceptional team at all levels in the organization. I look forward to working with all of them as we work to build on Jabil's legacy and pursue the exciting opportunities ahead.”
“We are also fortunate to have such a strong leadership roster to guide the Company into its next chapter and we couldn’t be more pleased to appoint Greg as our new CFO. Greg is an accomplished financial professional with a deep knowledge of Jabil and all its business units, and we look forward to partnering with him as we advance our strategic roadmap.”
Separately, Jabil has made several other appointments to the Company’s leadership team:

In North America, there are only a couple of publicly traded PCB companies: TTM Technologies and Firan Technology Group. On the EMS side, there are a few more: Flex, Jabil, Celestica, Sanmina,, Benchmark, Fabrinet, Kimball Electronics, Plexus Corp, Nortech Systems, and Key Tronic Corp. From an M&A standpoint, these public companies have been fairly quiet in the past five years. FTG completed two deals in 2022 (IMI and Holaday), Flex had three deals, Jabil had five deals, and Sanmina had one deal.

Connect the Dots: Designing for the Future of Manufacturing Reality—Surface Finish
05/07/2026 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsWhen designing the complex boards that many electronic devices require to operate, designers should consider manufacturability at every step. This is my last article focused on designing for the always-evolving manufacturing reality. Choosing the right surface finish has always been important. If you are creating intricate designs with a wide variety of components, like for an ultra-high density interconnect (UHDI) board, surface finish is a critical last step.
Trouble in Your Tank: In Complex Systems, Design Rules Aren’t Optional
05/06/2026 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankThere is no question that the electronics industry, especially in circuit board design and fabrication, advanced packaging, and innovation throughout the value chain, has seen a significant transformation, whether it be in materials, system architecture, HDI and ultra HDI, semiconductors, or chiplets. AI and high-performance computing (HPC) are driving change across several fronts, including material properties, assembly techniques (think hybrid bonding), and power management.
