Robert Boehlke (2005) transformed KLA from technology leader that analysts described as “flakey” to a profitable “well oiled machine”
- Before he took charge as CFO, KLA was always missing quarters and never earned consistently
- Few CFOs ever have a transformative effect, which makes Bob so special
- What makes him stand above the crowd is his unique understanding of human nature; his complete mastery of strategy and tactics; and his ability to always see the plainly obvious things everyone else overlooks
