EL SEGUNDO, Calif., Aug. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Cambium, a leader in advanced materials manufacturing and innovation, today announced that Rick Dunn has joined the company as Chief Financial Officer. Dunn joins Cambium as it enters a rapid growth stage, building on its recent acquisition of SHD Composites and continued expansion across aerospace, defense, and other high-performance industries.
Dunn brings more than two decades of experience as a public and private company chief financial officer, scaling capital-intensive technology businesses across space, wireless and industrial infrastructure. He most recently served as Chief Financial Officer of Satellogic Inc. (NASDAQ: SATL), which he helped lead from Series B through its 2022 Nasdaq debut. Across his career he has raised more than $1.7 billion in debt and equity, carried a private equity-owned business through a $1.1 billion sale, participated in numerous acquisitions and divestitures, and built finance organizations operating in as many as 26 countries. As Chief Financial Officer, he will lead Cambium's finance organization, capital strategy, and the systems and controls the company needs to scale manufacturing globally.
"Rick joins Cambium at a defining moment. As we rapidly build critical advanced materials supply chains for reindustrialization, we need a finance leader who has done this before at high-growth companies and understands how to build the systems and investor relationships that rapid expansion demands. Rick's experience is exactly that," said Cambium Co-founder and CEO Simon Waddington
"What drew me to Cambium is that the speed is real," said Dunn. "Customers are being asked to move from concept to qualified production in a fraction of the time they used to have, and Cambium is one of very few companies with both the discovery platform and the manufacturing base to deliver that. I've spent my career scaling technology companies internationally, and I've always seen finance as a business partner first. My job is to give this team the capital, the systems and the transparency to keep moving at the pace our customers need."
Dunn holds a B.B.A. from Pacific Lutheran University and an M.B.A. from Seattle University, is an alumnus of the Stanford University Graduate School of Business Executive Program.
