Veteran technology executive Tony Allan has been hired to succeed soon-to-retire Douglas J. Eccleston at Zygo Corp., overseeing the Middlefield technology maker’s global operations.
Allan, 46, will be senior vice president, reporting to CEO Chris Koliopoulos once the management transition is complete, the company said Monday. Zygo gave no timetable for Eccleston’s exit.
Zygo makes precision opticals and measuring systems.
Until recently, Allan was chief operating officer at Masimo Corp., an Irvine, Calif., maker of non-invasive patient monitors.
He also had been an executive at Jabil Circuit Inc., a Billerica, Mass., contract electronics designer-manufacturer.
Allan holds a post graduate diploma in quality engineering from the United Kingdom’s University of Paisley and a degree in engineering from Glasgow College.
