Tami Newcombe, who served as president of Tektronix for four years, has now fully transitioned to the role of president and CEO of Precision Technologies at Fortive Corporation, a position she’s held since December 2021. Tektronix is an operating company within the Fortive portfolio of essential technologies for connected workflow solutions.

Bohn has worked for over 15 years across Fortive’s two largest operating companies, Fluke and Tektronix.

From 2019 to 2021, he served as the VP and general manager for Keithley Portfolio Solutions. Prior to joining Tektronix, he worked for Fluke, leading numerous teams across sales, Mmarketing and customer service functions.

“Chris is the natural next leader of Tektronix. I am certain that he will continue – and progress – the remarkable growth journey that Tektronix is on. Chris is a collaborative leader, who values teamwork and prioritizes the growth and development of his teams– naturally bringing together people to leverage their unique skills, talents, and knowledge to achieve a common purpose,” said Newcombe.

“I’m extremely excited to continue the growth momentum at Tektronix by bringing outstanding solutions and services to our customers that help them accelerate technology advancements in the world. For over 75 years, Tektronix has been at the forefront of helping customers bring new technologies to market and I’m happy to lead an organization with such a rich tradition of technology leadership,” said Bohn

“As an engineer, veteran, and business leader, I’m drawn not only to technological innovation, but also to the culture and processes that have supported successful companies, says Bohn. “That culture — and the business processes that enable growth in both revenue and innovation — are what truly set an organization apart. I’m proud that Tektronix continues to invest in the best people, products, performance, and quality for our customers.”
