Teledyne appoints new CEO
Thousand Oaks-based Teledyne Technologies has a new chief executive, the company announced April 28.
George C. Bobb III, who most recently served as the company’s president and COO, was elevated to president and CEO effective immediately, the company said after the markets closed April 28.
Bobb takes over for Edwin Roks, who retired from the CEO spot after taking over in October 2023. Roks had been with the defense firm since 2011, after Teledyne acquired DALSA. Roks will continue as a special advisor to Executive Chairman Robert Mehrabian through Aug. 31.
“I also want to thank Edwin for his 20 years of service, first starting in 2005 and then joining Teledyne in 2011 with the acquisition of DALSA Corporation. Edwin has been a strong contributor to Teledyne’s growth in the digital imaging area and the advancement of technology across our business portfolio,” Mehrabian said.
Bobb has been with Teledyne since 2008, serving in roles such as the president of Teledyne’s Aerospace and Defense Electronics Segment and has also held various legal positions within the company.
“George has worked with me at Teledyne for 17 years and has excelled at every assignment given to him, including most recently as Teledyne’s President and Chief Operating Officer,” said Mehrabian. “Together, George and I will continue the development and execution of Teledyne’s growth strategy, with George reporting directly to me.”
