Congratulations to our very own Advisory Board Member, Charlie Kanan on this incredible accomplishment.
With deep gratitude, we are celebrating Charlie Kanan’s fourteen years of leadership as he prepares to retire as Chairman of Waytek’s Board on December 31, 2026. Following his retirement, Charlie will be recognized as Chairman Emeritus and continue his relationship with Waytek as an advisor.
Charlie has helped shape the company we are today. During his years as CEO and Chairman, he guided Waytek through growth and change while preserving the culture, customer commitment, and family values that make this business special.
The honorary Chairman Emeritus title recognizes that lasting contribution. His separate advisory role will allow him to share his experience with the CEO and the next Chairman.
“Charlie was entrusted with helping preserve our family’s legacy. He honored that responsibility every day. We are grateful to recognize his contribution and continue a relationship that means so much to our family.” - Mike Larson, Chief Operating Officer and Co-Owner
“Charlie’s counsel has meant a great deal to me. I am grateful for his trust and pleased that we will continue to benefit from his perspective.” - Andres Caballero, Chief Executive Officer
Charlie will remain Chairman through the end of the year. We look forward to celebrating his service and will share news of our next Chairman in the coming weeks.
Thank you, Charlie, for the lasting difference you have made to Waytek and its people. Please join us in celebrating this recognition and wishing him every happiness in his next chapter.
