On September 1 local time, Coherent, an American laser system solutions provider, announced that Dr. Mark Sobey, president of its laser division, has officially retired from the company.

In July 2022, II-VI and Coherent completed the merger and were reorganized into three business units: Lasers, Materials and Networking. Since this point, Dr. Sobey has served as President of Coherent's Laser division.

Prior to the merger, Dr. Sobey served as Coherent's Chief Operating Officer from 2020 to 2022. Prior to his promotion to Chief Operating Officer, he served as Executive Vice President and general Manager of Coherent's OEM Laser Sources division. Prior to that, he served as Executive Vice President and General Manager of Specialty Laser Systems (SLS) from 2010 to 2016 and Vice President and General Manager of SLS from 2007 to 2010.

Commenting on Dr. Mark Sobey's retirement, Coherent's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Vincent D. Mattera, said: "Dr. Sobey has a long track record of success at the former Coherent, and with his outstanding expertise in laser and fiber technology, he has provided invaluable leadership to our combined company over the past 14 months."

He added, "Dr. Sobey's scientific and technical prowess is a great asset to Coherent, and I will personally miss him as a colleague on our executive leadership team. We thank him for his significant contributions and wish him and his family all the best in his retirement."

Prior to joining Coherent, Dr. Sobey spent more than 20 years in the laser and fiber communications industry, including serving as Senior Vice President of Product Management at Cymer and Vice President of Global Sales at JDS Uniphase. He holds a Ph.D. in engineering and a B.S. in Physics from the University of Strathclyde in Scotland.
