Founder and outgoing CEO Christian Peterson will step into the role of Chairman, while Tom Brown, who has served as interim president since May 2024, will be promoted to Senior Vice President of Business Development and Sales.
Tom Artinian brings with him 30 years of experience in the fibre optics and cabling industries. He previously held the position of Chief Operating Officer and President at Hitachi Metals’ Wire and Cable division, where he led significant growth and market expansion. His leadership during the division’s transition to Proterial LTD was particularly notable. Known for his strategic insight and ability to drive international growth, Artinian is expected to bolster TiniFiber’s position in the market.
"The board is delighted to have Tom Artinian join as CEO. He not only has an exceptional track record, but also the strategic vision and the industry relationships to further accelerate TiniFiber's growth," said Nathan Chandrasekaran, TiniFiber Board Member and Partner at Columbia River Partners.
"We would also like to give a heartfelt thank you to Tom Brown and Christian Peterson. In May, Tom Brown stepped into the role of president following the unexpected passing of Steve Shultis and the board is delighted to have him remain as a senior member of the leadership team. Similarly Christian has played a vital role in building the original foundation and his unique vision behind TiniFiber and the company is in a very strong position as a result of his leadership. As Chairman, Christian will continue to provide invaluable strategic advice and industry knowledge," added Chandrasekaran.
“TiniFiber's technology is truly innovative and brings significant benefits to a huge range of industries, from data centers to industrial manufacturing and from transport hubs to commercial facilities. I look forward to working closely with its great team to help it grow into key international markets," said Tom Artinian, CEO, TiniFiber.
