TE Connectivity is transitioning its senior legal leadership. Jennifer A. Johnson is expected to join as executive vice president and chief legal officer on November 9, 2026, succeeding John S. Jenkins Jr., who plans to retire on March 31, 2027.
- Jenkins will leave his current role when Johnson joins but remain employed as an executive legal adviser until his retirement.
- During that advisory period, he will receive the same annual salary and remain eligible for annual incentive awards, with any award prorated.
- The announcement sets out a handover period of nearly five months between Johnson’s expected arrival and Jenkins’s retirement.
The change establishes a planned succession for the company’s top legal role, with Jenkins staying on to advise during the transition.
