ATI chairman and founder K Y Ho has decided to call it a day, and is quitting the company to “spend more time with family and pursue my personal interests”. Ho created ATI in 1985 and served as its CEO until 1 June 2004. On that date he handed the mantle of power over to Dave Orton, who joined the company in April 2000 as its President and COO. James Fleck, currently an independent director, will take over Ho’s role as chairman, albeit in a non-executive capacity.
End of an era? We’ll see how this plays out in ATI’s future. Check out the posting here.
