Chris Van Metre takes over as ATI board chair

Advanced Technology International (ATI) announced on November 4 the retirement of Rear Adm. Charles Young, U.S. Navy (Ret.) as the chair of the ATI board, after 10 years of service on the board. In recognition of Admiral Young’s decades of dedicated service and contributions to South Carolina, the governor conferred upon him the prestigious Order of the Palmetto.

“It has been an honor and my pleasure to have been a director on the ATI board for ten years and witness the remarkable impact ATI has had on the safety and well-being of the nation,” Young said. “I am filled with optimism about the company’s future. The dedicated team and innovative vision position ATI for continued success in the years ahead.”

Chris Van Metre has taken over as the board chair, effective October 29, 2024. Van Metre joined the board this year after retiring in July as CEO of ATI after 12 years at the helm.

“The ATI board expresses our sincere appreciation to Charlie for his leadership and guidance,” said Van Metre. “ATI will continue to benefit from his significant contributions for many years to come, as it supports the nation’s most innovative research and technology initiatives.”
