Vontier's Transformation And Operations Chief Rowen Resigns, Effective October 16
The 8-K gives one reason, another opportunity, and names no successor or interim replacement.
Kathryn Rowen, Vontier's Executive Vice President and Chief Transformation and Operations Officer, told the company on Friday that she is resigning effective October 16, according to an 8-K filed Thursday. The filing says she is leaving to pursue another opportunity.
What the 8-K says
The disclosure sits under Item 5.02 of the 8-K, the section companies use to report departures of certain officers. It says Rowen notified Vontier on October 2 of her decision to resign, effective October 16.
The stated reason is a single clause: "to pursue another opportunity." The filing describes no dispute or other cause. Courtney Kamlet, Vontier's Vice President, Chief Governance Officer and Chief of Staff, signed it on October 8.
What it changes
Her exit takes effect two weeks after she gave notice. The filing does not name a successor or an interim replacement for the role.
Vontier shares closed at $32.27 on Wednesday, down 1.74% for that session, before the filing became public at 7:00 a.m. ET Thursday (market data). That close predates the disclosure, so it does not show any reaction to the news.
What to watch
Rowen's last day is October 16. Any naming of a successor or interim leader for the transformation and operations role would need a further disclosure from the company.
Rowen's last day is October 16, and the filing names no one to take over the role.
