Appreciating decades of leadership and commitment
Leadership transitions are significant moments for any company, especially when they involve people who have helped shape the organization over decades.
Recently, TransAct announced that Steven DeMartino will retire as Chief Financial Officer of TransAct Technologies effective June 30, 2026, following nearly 30 years with the company. We also announced that Robert Campbell will step into the role of Chief Financial Officer as part of our planned leadership transition.
For those who know TransAct well, Steve’s impact on this company is difficult to overstate.
Since joining TransAct in the 1990s, Steve has helped guide the company through multiple stages of growth, industry shifts, operational challenges, and strategic transitions. He has been part of TransAct throughout nearly our entire public company history following our IPO in 1996, helping build the financial foundation and discipline that continues to support the business today.
Beyond the financial leadership itself, Steve has also been a trusted partner to our leadership team, Board of Directors, employees, and stockholders throughout his tenure. His steady leadership, institutional knowledge, and long-term perspective have played an important role in shaping the company over the past three decades.
Transitions like this also serve as a reminder of how much a company is shaped by the people behind it. Steve’s leadership has had a lasting impact not only on our financial organization, but on the broader culture and discipline of TransAct as a company.
On behalf of everyone at TransAct, I want to sincerely thank Steve for his contributions, leadership, and commitment to the company throughout his career. While retirement marks the conclusion of an important chapter, I am grateful that Steve will continue supporting the company in an advisory role through the end of the year to help ensure a smooth transition.
At the same time, I am very pleased to welcome Bob Campbell as TransAct’s next Chief Financial Officer.
Since joining TransAct in 2022 as Controller, Bob has become an important part of our financial leadership organization. He has played a key role in strengthening our financial operations, reporting processes, and internal controls while helping support the continued evolution of our business.
Bob brings more than 25 years of financial leadership experience across both public and private manufacturing organizations. Just as importantly, he already understands our business, our customers, our operations, and our long-term strategic priorities.
As TransAct continues evolving, continuity remains important.
Over the past several years, we have continued expanding our recurring revenue business, growing our BOHA! platform, and strengthening our position across both the foodservice technology and casino & gaming markets. Today, BOHA! supports more than 19,000 foodservice locations worldwide and remains an important part of our long-term strategy moving forward.
Our business continues to evolve and grow, but our focus remains the same: building long-term value through operational discipline, strong customer relationships, and continued innovation across the markets we serve.
That is why I believe this transition positions us well for the future.
Bob’s leadership, combined with the strong financial foundation Steve helped build, will help ensure continuity as we continue executing our long-term strategy and supporting customers across our business.
Leadership transitions are never only about titles. They are about preserving culture, maintaining trust, and positioning the organization for continued growth over time.
I want to thank both Steve and Bob for their leadership and commitment to TransAct during this important transition.
