Enovix Corporation Announces Executive Changes
Enovix Corporation announced a leadership transition in its operations organization, including the planned retirement of its Chief Operating Officer, effective February 17, 2026, as the company prepares to commence mass production. The transition reflects Enovix’s focus on proven, high-volume battery manufacturing leadership as it moves toward sustained production for smartphone, smart eyewear, and defense applications. Enovix expressed its appreciation for Ajay Marathe’s leadership and service, including his role in helping establish the company’s manufacturing presence at Fab2 in Malaysia. The company is expanding the responsibilities of Senior Vice President Kihong (“KH”) Park and adding seasoned manufacturing leaders to accelerate a disciplined, repeatable ramp. As Enovix enters its next phase of commercial scale, the company is realigning its operations leadership to prioritize proven, high-volume battery manufacturing expertise and clear operational accountability. Global Manufacturing Operations will be led by Senior Vice President Kihong Park, who has overseen Enovix’s Korea manufacturing operations since 2023. Kihong brings more than two decades of global battery manufacturing, quality, and operations leadership, with deep experience scaling lithium-ion battery production across Asia, Europe, and North America. Since joining Enovix, he and his organization have strengthened regional operations, integrated acquired manufacturing assets, and delivered consistent year-over-year growth across Enovix’s Korea battery business while improving operational rigor and yield performance. This performance supported approximately 38% revenue growth for the company overall in 2025, based on preliminary unaudited financial results for 2025. He has also spent significant time over the past year working closely with teams in Penang, Malaysia to support operational readiness and scale-up activities. Kihong’s expanded role reflects Enovix’s commitment to proven battery manufacturing leadership as the company transitions to higher-volume production. Advanced Manufacturing Engineering (AME) responsible for the design, build, and support of the proprietary equipment used to manufacture Enovix batteries — will report directly to the Chief Executive Officer, reflecting the strategic importance of AME in driving manufacturability, throughput, and cost efficiency at scale. To lead AME into its next phase, Enovix has hired Ed Casey as Vice President, Operations. Ed brings decades of experience leading high-volume manufacturing and technology scale-ups across multinational environments, including Southeast Asia. His background includes senior leadership roles at Komag, Seagate, Western Digital, and most recently ams OSRAM, where he consistently delivered manufacturing efficiency, automation, and operational scale across complex production networks. Ed’s appointment adds seasoned, world-class manufacturing leadership as Enovix prepares to ramp multiple production lines. The AME organization will also be strengthened by the addition of Sanghyuck Park, who joins Enovix as Senior Director, Advanced Manufacturing Engineering. Sanghyuck brings over 30 years of experience from LG Electronics’ Production Technology Center and deep expertise in battery production equipment, global equipment standardization, and process optimization. An inventor with multiple international patents in battery manufacturing equipment, Sanghyuck has led large-scale equipment deployments across Korea, China, Poland, and the United States. His experience is expected to accelerate line deployment, standardization, and repeatability as Enovix transitions from qualification to sustained production ramp across multiple geographies.
