Data I/O shakes up its management
Data I/O in the US has restructured its senior management team and operations following the arrival of a new chief executive.
William Wentworth was appointed CEO of Data I/O on October 1, 2024 and plans to expand its programming and data security offerings for microcontrollers and memory devices.
“We are announcing a series of organizational changes addressing both personnel and operations which we believe best position us to scale and grow the Company,” said Wentworth, who was previously a private equity consultant.
Rajeev Gulati, Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, and Michael Tidwell, Vice President of Marketing and Corporate Business Development, have left the Company.
“Since my coming on board, we have been assessing our capabilities with a view towards our future growth and market share expansion opportunities,” said Wentworth. “To this end, we have hired proven industry veterans, promoted from within and created new positions. Collectively, we have streamlined our leadership team to align ourselves while creating growth strategies and prioritizing customer success. These are the steps we believe are necessary to become a higher value partner with a broader reach into the global electronics supply chain.”
Semiconductor and electronics industry veteran Monty Reagan was appointed Vice President, Sales & Marketing, for Data I/O, a position that had not been occupied in more than 10 years. He was previously at Avnet, BPM Microsystems, DataTrans Solutions, and Source Electronics, where he worked with Wentworth.
Matt Hunter was promoted to Director of Quality, a newly created position at Data I/O. This position is responsible for overseeing Data I/O’s global ISO 9001:2015 quality certifications and manufacturing quality standards, in addition to supporting various operational activities.
