R. Adam Norwitt has served as CEO of Wallingford-based Amphenol Corp. since 2009 and as president since 2007. He joined the company in 1998 as an intern in Asia focused on mergers and acquisitions and has since held a range of leadership roles, including general manager, group general manager and senior vice president, with experience based in both Asia and the United States.
Before joining Amphenol, Norwitt practiced corporate law with Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP. Under his leadership, Amphenol has grown into one of the world’s largest manufacturers of interconnect products, including electrical connectors, cable assemblies, sensors and antennas, serving markets including communications, automotive, aerospace, industrial and defense.
Amphenol closed 2025 with record results, reporting full-year sales of $23.1 billion, up 52%, and adjusted earnings per share of $3.34, up 77%. Growth was driven by strong demand — particularly in the IT datacom market — and an active acquisition strategy, including five deals completed in 2025 and the early-2026 purchase of CommScope’s Connectivity and Cable Solutions business.
Norwitt serves as co-chair of AdvanceCT, Connecticut’s public-private economic development agency, and sits on the boards of Georgetown University and the U.S.-China Business Council. He is fluent in Mandarin Chinese and French.
