Transcat announces leadership transition
Listen to this articleTransat has named Jaime Irick as its next president and CEO, effective March 29.
The Rochester-based company’s board of directors also appointed Irick to the Transcat Board of Directors, where he will serve on the executive committee. As previously announced, Lee D. Rudow is retiring from his role as CEO and from the board and will be a senior advisor to the company through March 2027.
Board Chair Gary Haseley said Irick is a proven C-suite executive and public company board member with an established record of delivering results at multi-billion dollar industrial and technology enterprises.
“His strategic vision, growth focus and operational expertise make him ideally suited to lead Transcat,” Haseley said. “Jaime has extensive, wide-ranging experience spearheading successful integrations following complex transactions, driving growth and profitability and leading high-performing teams—all of which align with our strategic vision.”
Irick has extensive leadership experience across the industrial and technology sectors. Most recently, he served as CEO of Pittsburgh Paints Company, where he successfully led a $2 billion carve-out and transition from PPG Industries (NYSE: PPG) to private equity ownership, outperforming competitors’ organic growth during the division’s last year at PPG.
Irick holds a degree in Systems Engineering from the United States Military Academy at West Point and an MBA from Harvard Business School. Before his business career, Irick served as a field artillery officer in the U.S. Army and is a qualified airborne ranger.
“I am honored by the board’s confidence and excited to lead Transcat at this pivotal moment in its history,” Irick said. “I look forward to working with our employees, customers and partners to seize new opportunities, drive growth and innovation and continue to set the standard in calibration services and equipment.”
