Mr. Topol drove more than $4 billion of savings in capital investment through supply chain optimization, dual

 

 

“It’s been a pleasure to spend the last three years working alongside Tritium’s current CFO Michael Hipwood, maturing the business and successfully listing it on the Nasdaq, whilst maintaining our #2 market share globally in the EV fast charging space,” said Tritium CEO Jane Hunter. “We’re thrilled to welcome Rob Topol to Tritium’s leadership team. He brings a wealth of financial expertise in electronics manufacturing and supply chain, from the highly relevant semiconductor industry. Rob has more than 20 years of senior leadership experience working in a US listed company with a global footprint. His combined technical and financial expertise will support Tritium’s global scale and growth over the coming years.”

 

 

Prior to his role as CFO and VP of Accelerated Computing Systems and Graphics, Mr. Topol served as Intel’s CFO of Global Supply Chain, Cost, and Inventory, where he managed a more than $30 billion manufacturing and research and development portfolio and led a team of global controllers and analysts supporting all cost functions at Intel. He served as the General Manager of Intel’s 5G Wireless and Next Gen Standards business division for four years, developing strategy and helping to


build a portfolio of devices, internet of things and network infrastructure, data center and cloud computing solutions. Mr. Topol also served as a Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) board member from 2019-2021.

 

 

“Working with Tritium has been the highlight of my career,” said current Tritium CFO Michael Hipwood. “In the past four years we have launched multiple new product lines, expanded into new markets, built a new factory in the US, and became a publicly traded company. I’m looking forward to working with Mr. Topol to support a smooth transition of the finance organization and to complete the June 30 fiscal year earnings announcement before I wrap up. With Mr. Topol’s help, Tritium will be extremely well-positioned to scale their manufacturing operations globally to meet skyrocketing demand.”

 

 

Mr. Topol received a Master of Business Administration degree at Brigham Young University in 2000 and Bachelor of Arts degrees in Behavioral Sciences and International studies at the University of Utah in 1995.

 

 

“I am excited to join Tritium to help support the Company’s rapid growth trajectory around the globe,” said Mr. Topol. “EV fast charging is one of the fastest-growing segments in green-technology and Tritium is perfectly positioned to lead the field with its technical expertise, innovative products, and strong international partnerships. I’m thrilled to help shape the future of Tritium as the Company continues to scale.”
