The Board of Directors of Rogers Corporation announced that Colin Gouveia has left his position as President and CEO and has resigned from the Board on July 12, 2025.

Mr. El-Haj brings global leadership experience in key Rogers markets and is well-positioned to advance the company’s strategic direction during this transition.
“Ali is an accomplished global leader with extensive experience in technical sectors and a strong track record of executing strategy in lean, high-performance environments,” said Peter Wallace, Chair of the Rogers Board of Directors. “This transition also marks a shift to simplify our operating model to enable greater agility and focus. Rogers has a clear strategy, a talented management team and a proven legacy of innovation for customers. We are confident in the team’s ability to safely deliver long-term value for our customers, employees and shareholders.”

Mr. El-Haj is a seasoned CEO with over 30 years of international experience leading growth, turnarounds, and strategic expansion in the automotive and manufacturing industries. Most recently, he guided Techniplas, a Tier 1 supplier, through multiple acquisitions, complex COVID-19 supply chain challenges, and securing several contracts with European OEMs. Prior to that, Mr. El-Haj served as President and CEO of CAP-CON Automotive Technologies, where he expanded Casco Products into a global leader in sensor and connectivity systems, and simultaneously led ARC Automotive through a major turnaround.

Together, we will drive innovation, enhance our operational discipline and execute where it matters for our customers, creating the engineered materials that move the world forward.”
