Insights

Corporate governance and succession-planning analyst

CPS Technologies discloses a planned 2026 retirement of its long-serving CFO with an orderly transition process.

The company states that Chief Financial Officer and corporate secretary Charles K. Griffith, Jr. notified the Board on December 11, 2025 of his intent to retire in 2026. He expects this to take effect around mid second quarter or early third quarter of 2026, which provides several months of visibility into the upcoming leadership change.
