What Happened
Navitas Semiconductor Corporation (Nasdaq: NVTS) announced on March 11, 2026 (filed via Form 8‑K) that Tonya Stevens will be appointed Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, effective March 30, 2026. Current SVP, CFO and Treasurer Todd Glickman agreed to remain with the company through the transition date to ensure continuity. Ms. Stevens joins from Lattice Semiconductor, where she was Corporate VP and Chief Accounting Officer and served as Interim CFO from October 2024 to February 2025. She previously held senior finance roles at Intel and PwC and is a CPA.

Key Details

• Start/transition: Appointment effective March 30, 2026; offer letter dated March 11, 2026.
• Cash pay & bonus: Annual base salary $425,000; eligible for annual bonus with a target of 65% of base salary. For 2026 the bonus will be the greater of (a) 65% of gross base pay actually paid in 2026 or (b) a pro‑rata performance‑based bonus.

Number of RSUs for the Recruitment Award will be set using the 60‑day weighted average closing price prior to the transition date.

Why It Matters
A CFO change is a material leadership shift in the company’s finance and accounting function and could affect financial reporting and investor communications. The compensation package—notably the $4.5M RSU Recruitment Award and multi‑year annual equity targets—represents potential future expense and equity dilution that investors should note. The company disclosed a planned orderly transition with the current CFO remaining through March 30, 2026, and equity award terms remain subject to Board approval.
