He succeeds Mitch Aiello, who will continue to serve on Boyd’s board of directors and is stepping down to focus on health and family.
Doug Britt brings over 30 years of experience in leading strategic initiatives, driving commercial success, managing complex operations, and catalyzing growth across many businesses. Doug most recently served as President of the Integrated Solutions division of FLEX, a $20+ billion business unit that combines Industrial and Emerging Industries (IEI), Communications and Enterprise Compute (CEC), and Consumer Technologies Groups (CTG).

Mitch Aiello joined Boyd in 1999 and became President and CEO in 2003. During his tenure, the company grew from a four-site manufacturer of environmental seals into a best-in-class global manufacturer serving some of the largest customers in the technology, industrial, and healthcare markets. The company now operates 27 facilities in 10 countries with annual sales of over $1 billion. Mitch will maintain his position on Boyd’s board of directors and remain an investor in the Company.

Boyd will be in great hands. I look forward to continuing to serve on the Company’s board of directors as Boyd continues its journey.”
