What to weigh

Watch 3

  • In July 2022 CIRCOR restated FY2019-2020 and the 2020-2021 interim periods for irregularities in its Pipeline Engineering unit, a span that overlaps his CFO tenure (Apr 2020-Dec 2021). CIRCOR blamed intentional acts of one employee and found material weaknesses. No document read names himsrc
  • Short tenures before Littelfuse: about 21 months at CIRCOR, 22 at Multi-Color and 19 as IDEX CFOsrc
  • No shares beneficially owned at 2026-02-27. Counting unvested RSUs he holds 7,567, above his 6,500-share guidelinesrc

In their favour 1
