Entegris Announces CEO Succession Plan
Bertrand Loy to Retire After 13 Years as President and CEO in August 2025; Will Continue to Serve as Executive Chair of the Entegris Board of Directors
David Reeder Will Succeed Loy as President and CEO
Mr. Reeder brings to his new role a unique combination of financial and operational leadership experience with large public companies, including extensive semiconductor industry expertise. He most recently served as CFO of Chewy Inc., and previously in leadership roles at global semiconductor companies, including as CFO of GlobalFoundries and in senior roles at Texas Instruments and Broadcom. Mr. Reeder was also CEO at Lexmark International and at Tower Insurance Group.
“Entegris has been my professional home for two decades, and I make the decision to retire not only with enormous gratitude for the opportunity to serve as its CEO, but similarly with confidence in the Company’s future,” Mr. Loy said. “We have accomplished a great deal over the last 13 years, in particular making strides in broadening our technology portfolio, expanding our global infrastructure and creating significant shareholder value. I am proud of our achievements, but I am equally excited about the tremendous opportunities ahead for Entegris. Our global team is Entegris’ true competitive advantage, and I know they will continue to bring great value to our customers and shareholders.”
Mr. Loy continued, “I have had the pleasure to get to know Dave well in his role on Entegris’ Board. He is an incisive thinker and a decisive leader, with a deep understanding of our technology and the applications we serve, and a strong sense of the priorities that are meaningful for our stakeholders, including and especially our shareholders. I look forward to working closely with Dave during the transition and continuing to support him in my role as Executive Chair.”
“Bertrand’s vision and leadership have shaped Entegris into the global industry leader it is today,” said James F. Gentilcore, Lead Independent Director, Entegris Board. “Under his leadership and through a rapidly evolving technological and geopolitical landscape, Entegris’ revenue and market capitalization grew nearly five times and over 10 times, respectively. On behalf of the Board, I want to express our immense gratitude for his two decades of service, his continued commitment to the Company, and the solid foundation he leaves behind.”
Mr. Gentilcore continued, “The Board recognizes that succession planning is one of its most critical duties. After careful consideration of internal and external candidates, we are confident that Dave is the ideal leader for this moment in Entegris’ evolution. Dave has semiconductor industry expertise and proven global leadership capabilities, as demonstrated both through his career accomplishments and his contributions within our boardroom. We are confident that having Dave take on the CEO role is the right decision for the business as we continue our efforts to elevate Entegris to the next level of excellence and outperform our competition.”
“I am grateful for the Board’s confidence in me to lead Entegris into its next phase of growth,” Mr. Reeder said. “As a director, I have seen firsthand the organization’s commitment to continuous improvement, creativity and the quest for excellence in all we do. These are values that speak to me on a personal and professional level, and I am eager to work with the team to build on this strong culture, capture the opportunities ahead of us, and deliver compelling value for our shareholders, customers, and our employees.”
