Analysis · FLEX · Manufacturing
Flex filled in the leadership picture for its planned Cloud and Power Infrastructure spin-off, appointing two independent directors effective September 24 and naming Amy B. Schwetz as CFO of its RMS and ITS segments starting October 5. The filing also lays out the full expected board rosters for both Flex and Axiom post-separation, with four new directors split between the two companies. The spin-off is now targeted for Q1 calendar 2027, pending Flex Board approval, Form 10 effectiveness, and shareholder and Singapore High Court approval. This is governance and succession news that matters because it locks in the leadership teams that will run two separate public companies — a key execution milestone for a separation Flex has been building toward since May.
