Rhea-AI Filing Summary
TransAct Technologies Incorporated announced a finance leadership transition, appointing Troy W. Ingianni as Chief Financial Officer, Secretary, Treasurer and Principal Accounting Officer effective July 1, 2026. He replaces longtime executive Steven DeMartino, who is retiring, after Robert Campbell withdrew from succeeding him for personal reasons and will remain in a non-executive finance role.

Insights
TransAct installs an experienced public-company finance leader as CFO with standard incentives and protections.
The company is completing a planned succession from its retiring President/CFO by appointing Troy Ingianni as Chief Financial Officer, Secretary, Treasurer and Principal Accounting Officer. His background at Barnes Group and Deloitte emphasizes SEC reporting, technical accounting and global controls, which aligns with TransAct’s SaaS and hardware footprint.
His compensation structure is typical for a mid-cap CFO: a $350,000 base salary, a 35% bonus target, and 15,000 RSUs vesting over four years to align interests with shareholders. Severance of six months’ salary for termination without cause and 12 months tied to a change in control are conventional protections that support stability without appearing outsized. Overall, the filing reflects a routine but important leadership transition rather than a thesis-changing event.

As previously announced, Steven A. DeMartino, President, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer of TransAct Technologies Incorporated (the “Company”), will retire from those roles effective June 30, 2026, and John M. Dillon, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, will assume the title of President effective upon Mr. DeMartino’s retirement. Robert Campbell, the Company’s Controller, was originally appointed to succeed Mr. DeMartino as Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer upon Mr. DeMartino’s retirement, but Mr. Campbell has informed the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) that he will not be assuming those roles due to personal reasons. As a result, on June 26, 2026, the Board appointed Troy W. Ingianni to serve as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer, effective July 1, 2026 (the “Start Date”). Mr. Ingianni, 50, has more than 25 years of financial reporting, technical accounting, and Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) compliance experience across public accounting and global manufacturing organizations.
Mr. Ingianni served in roles of increasing responsibility at Barnes Group Inc., a global aerospace and industrial manufacturer and services provider, from August 2011 to December 2025, most recently from September 2024 to December 2025 as Vice President, Global Controller and Chief Accounting Officer. In that capacity, he was responsible for the company’s corporate consolidation and internal and external financial reporting, including its Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K and related filings with the SEC; oversight of Sarbanes-Oxley compliance and technical accounting matters; purchase and divestiture accounting for the company’s mergers, acquisitions and dispositions; statutory reporting for the company’s global legal entities; and engagement with the company’s audit committee, board of directors and independent registered public accounting firm. Mr. Ingianni’s prior roles at Barnes Group Inc. include service as Assistant Controller from October 2023 to September 2024, Director, Technical Accounting and SEC Reporting from November 2014 to October 2023, and SEC Reporting and Technical Accounting Manager, from August 2011 to November 2014. Earlier in his career, Mr. Ingianni was a Senior Manager in the Audit, Assurance and Advisory Services practice of Deloitte & Touche LLP from September 2000 to August 2011, and he began his career as a Cost Analyst at Pratt & Whitney from September 1999 to August 2000.
Mr. Ingianni holds a B.A. in Liberal Arts, an M.S. in Accounting, and an M.B.A. in Finance, each from the University of Connecticut, and is a Certified Public Accountant licensed in the State of Connecticut.
There is no arrangement or understanding between Mr. Ingianni and any other persons pursuant to which Mr. Ingianni was selected as an officer within the meaning of Item 401(b) of Regulation S-K, nor are there any family relationships between Mr. Ingianni and any director, executive officer or person nominated or chosen by the Company to become a director or executive officer of the Company within the meaning of Item 401(d) of Regulation S-K. Since the beginning of the Company’s last fiscal year, the Company has not engaged in any transaction in which Mr. Ingianni had a direct or indirect material interest within the meaning of Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
Principal Accounting Officer Transition
As previously reported, on May 7, 2026, the Board appointed Mr. Campbell to serve as Principal Accounting Officer of the Company, effective May 8, 2026.
On June 26, 2026, Mr. Campbell advised the Board that he would step down as Principal Accounting Officer effective June 30, 2026. Mr. Campbell will continue in a non-executive officer role in the Company’s finance department. Mr. Campbell’s decision to step down was not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices, or otherwise.
On June 26, 2026, the Board determined that Mr. Ingianni will serve as the Company’s Principal Accounting Officer effective as of the Start Date.
New CFO Compensation
In connection with Mr. Ingianni’s service as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer, the Company and Mr. Ingianni entered into an offer letter, effective as of the Start Date (the “Offer Letter”). Pursuant to the Offer Letter, Mr. Ingianni’s compensation will consist of an annual base salary of $350,000 (prorated for 2026) and an annual target bonus of 35% of his base salary (prorated for 2026). Upon assuming the role of Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer, Mr. Ingianni will receive a grant of 15,000 restricted stock units under the Company’s 2014 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”), which will vest in four equal annual installments, subject to his continued employment and other terms and conditions set forth in the Plan. Mr. Ingianni’s employment is at-will.
In connection with Mr. Ingianni’s appointment, the Company and Mr. Ingianni are expected to enter into a severance agreement (the “Severance Agreement”).
