Intevac names Kevin Barber board chairman

Intevac announced the appointment of Kevin Barber as the Company’s Board Chairman, effective today. Barber succeeds David S. Dury, who has served as Board Chairman since 2017 and will remain on the Board until the annual meeting of stockholders in 2025. “I would like to thank David for his meaningful contributions during his time as Board Chairman,” commented Nigel Hunton, Intevac’s president and chief executive officer. “David has proven to be a critical asset to the Company and has been instrumental in many key aspects of the Company’s success. We are pleased to announce Kevin as our new Board Chairman. Kevin has been with us for several years, and his acumen, customer knowledge, proven track record and true technical expertise will make him a continued strong asset to the Company. All of us at Intevac are looking forward to working with both as we continue to execute on our growth strategy and deliver shareholder value.” Dury has been the Board Chairman since 2017 and has overseen a number of key deliverables for the Company, including significant upgrades at the Board level in 2018, 2019 and this year. In addition to these appointments, Mr. Dury led the hire of Nigel Hunton as CEO in early 2022. Mr. Dury also successfully oversaw the sale of Photonics in 2021, a move that simplified and focused the Company into one business.
