LightPath Technologies, Inc. (LPTH)

Shmuel (Sam) Rubin has been president, chief executive and a director since March 2020, and the strategy of moving from parts to cameras dates from his arrival. He came from Thorlabs, where as general manager he ran its imaging systems division and its life science business worldwide and built its operation in China; before that he co-founded Xlight Photonics, an optical communications start-up. Albert Miranda joined in April 2021 and became chief financial officer that May, after twelve years as president and chief financial officer of Jenoptik North America and earlier finance roles in the optical products groups of Carl Zeiss. Rosh Electroptics, owned and controlled by Rubin's father and brother, has been a non-exclusive sales representative for the company in Israel since 2020. 123456

Scott Faris, a director since December 2011, has chaired the board since December 2022; he founded Eqlipse Quantum, which launches quantum technology companies for defense, and ran Infleqtion from 2021 to 2024.
