Tektronix names new President
Tektronix, Inc. has promoted Christopher Bohn to President of the global test and measurement company.
Bohn most recently served as the Vice President Global Sales & Operations, where he was responsible for delivering global revenue growth and working cross-functionally to drive integration and customer focus between all revenue related functions.
Tami Newcombe, who served as President of Tektronix for four years, has fully transitioned to her new role as President & CEO of Precision Technologies at Fortive Corporation, a position she’s held since December 2021. Tektronix is an operating company within the Fortive portfolio of essential technologies for connected workflow solutions.
“Chris is a collaborative leader, who values teamwork and prioritizes the growth and development of his teams– naturally bringing together people to leverage their unique skills, talents, and knowledge to achieve a common purpose”, says Tami Newcombe.
Bohn brings to the role a breadth of commercial, strategic, and continuous improvement experience and expertise that he gained over 15 years in global roles of increasing responsibility across Fortive’s two largest operating companies, Fluke and Tektronix.
From 2019 to 2021, Bohn served as the Vice President General Manager for Keithley Portfolio Solutions driving double-digit growth, a simplified product and software portfolio, and a customer-focused innovation roadmap that resulted in the most profitable period in its 75+ year history. Prior to joining Tektronix, Bohn worked for Fluke, leading numerous teams across Sales, Marketing and Customer Service functions.
Bohn is a graduate of the United States Air Force Academy, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering and served five years in the U.S. military. Bohn earned an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University in Evanston, IL.
“As an engineer, veteran and business leader, I'm drawn not only to technological innovation, but also to the culture and processes that have supported successful companies”, says Bohn. “That culture — and the business processes that enable growth in both revenue and innovation — are what truly set an organization apart.”
