Telos Alliance has appointed Co-CEO Scott Stiefel to the role of CEO, effective immediately. Now running the company’s day-to-day operations, Stiefel will assume the reins from Co-CEO Tom Swidarski, who will serve on the board of directors as vice chairman and will remain a critical part of the senior leadership team. Telos Alliance founder Frank Foti remains chairman of the board and continues to lead the Omnia development at the highest level.
Scott has served Telos Alliance in various capacities for more than 20 years, starting as a hardware and embedded systems engineer and working his way up to the CEO role. “Scott has truly become a better and more effective leader, and his complete skill set matches his integrity, character and moral compass,” says Swidarski.
Foti adds, “Scott has a unique mix of abilities needed to lead. He has a level of integrity and the knowledge needed for both business and engineering. Over the years, it’s been such a pleasure to see him grow, first as an engineer, then taking on the business segment. Many years ago, I could see Scott rising to the role of CEO. Under the tremendous guidance provided by Tom Swidarski, this is now a reality, and I could not be prouder or happier for Scott!”
“I am excited to lead Telos Alliance in yet another era of growth and transformation as we expand into the world of software and enterprise systems, platforms and professional services and to continue expanding our world-class hardware offerings,” says Stiefel.
