The board of El Segundo-based Wyle elected CEO and president George Melton as chairman, the company said Friday. Melton replaces Gus Yiakas, who retired after 39 years with the company.
Wyle is a privately held firm that provides high-tech aerospace engineering, testing and research services to commercial, industrial and government customers. The company also provides life sciences services, special test systems and other technical support services to the aerospace, defense, nuclear power, communications and transportation industries.
“George’s leadership and substantial experience in this industry has helped to usher in a new era of growth and expedited the transformation of Wyle since our initial investment,” Edmund J. Feeley, a member of the Wyle board, said in a statement. “We believe the company can continue to leverage many growth opportunities and we look forward to George’s continued leadership.”
