Our warmest and most heartfelt thanks to the incomparable Richard A. Morin, Cognex’s recently retired Chief Financial Officer. A most gregarious chap —and financially nimble CFO—Dick has turned the page after 18 dedicated years with the company.

Dick’s list of accomplishments is immense, highlighted by this one gleaming nugget: Cognex’s annual revenue grew from approximately $150 million to more than $520 million during his tenure! His business acumen, financial leadership, and strategic input were all top-shelf indeed.

So we bid Dick cheerio, farewell, and adieu…and wish him only the best as he writes his glorious next chapter.
