Nauticus Robotics named new a interim chief executive officer and interim finance chief after receiving an investment from existing investors.
The Houston-based undersea autonomous robotics company said President John Gibson Jr. was promoted to interim CEO Jan. 4. He has served as president since October and joined the company’s board in 2022.
Nauticus said the new executive management team was part of several strategic initiatives initiated by the board, which also included the new investment.
The company said it had secured a first tranche of financing led by existing investors, and discussions are ongoing for a second investment.
Gibson, 66 years old, succeeds Nicolaus Radford as CEO. The company said in a regulatory filing Jan. 5 that Radford’s departure Jan. 4 constituted termination without cause.
Nauticus said Victoria Hay had been appointed interim CFO during the fourth quarter of 2023.
The company also said in the Jan. 5 regulatory filing that Operating Chief Donnelly Bohan had departed.
