ETC is entering a new phase in its leadership following the announcement of the retirement of its CEO, Dick Titus, after 35 years with the company, and the appointment of James Foster as the new president, who assumes the role with more than a decade of experience within the organization.
Throughout his 35 years with the company, and during his seven years as CEO, Dick Titus has provided ETC with steadfast leadership and guidance. His legacy will continue in ETC’s ongoing commitment to its employees and customers, said Susan Foster, Chair of the Board of Directors.
As the company begins a new chapter in its leadership, ETC announces that James Foster has assumed the role of president.
As the new president, Foster brings more than a decade of experience. He has worked with Titus and across various ETC departments, serving in roles in research and development, human resources, acquisition management, and professional services. Foster has held the position of vice president of finance since 2024 and has served on ETC’s Board of Directors since 2022.
I am deeply honored and excited to begin this new chapter alongside the incredible people of ETC. This company has been built on a passion for people, service, and innovative products, and I intend to continue advancing that legacy, Foster stated.
