Monolithic Power Systems announced two finance leadership appointments, effective Oct. 27: Tony Balow became chief financial officer, and Robert Dean became chief accounting officer. The company also issued a release covering its third-quarter 2026 results, but the results figures and operating details are not included in the material provided here.
Key details
- Balow is the new CFO. He had served as the company’s vice president of finance since September 2023. Before joining Monolithic Power, he spent 23 years at Intel in senior roles.
- Dean is the new chief accounting officer. He served as Monolithic Power’s interim CFO from February to October 2026 and was corporate controller from 2016 to February 2026. Before joining the company, he held senior finance and accounting roles at Netflix, Varian and Applied Materials.
- The appointments formalize the finance leadership transition: Balow moves from finance vice president to CFO, while Dean shifts from interim CFO to the accounting role.
- The company’s separate third-quarter results announcement is referenced, but no revenue, earnings or other performance figures are available in the supplied text.
Implications
The changes put an experienced internal finance executive in the CFO role and return Dean to a dedicated accounting position after his interim CFO stint. The available material does not provide details on compensation or other changes to the executives’ employment arrangements.
