Neutral Impact 4 of 5 leadership Written later

Telos Corporation's board appointed Mark D. Griffin, an insider who joined the company in 1984, as President and Chief Executive Officer effective November 2, 2026, succeeding John B. Wood, who became Executive Chairman. The filing says Wood's transition was not the result of any disagreement with the company, and it sets out Griffin's $440,000 base salary and severance terms. The company will report third quarter 2026 results on November 9, 2026, the first earnings release under the new CEO.

  • Mark D. Griffin, age 66, named President and CEO effective November 2, 2026; previously Executive Vice President of Security Solutions since 2021
  • John B. Wood, CEO since 1994, becomes Executive Chairman and remains Chairman of the Board; his salary and benefits are unchanged
  • Griffin's employment agreement sets an annual base salary of $440,000 and 24 months of severance if terminated without cause or due to disability
