Time for another blog in our “Employee Spotlight Series.” This time we will meet Rob Milversted. Rob has worked for Teledyne for over 20 years, and he is the Director of Sales for Process Instruments and Systems (Teledyne Hastings Instruments and Teledyne Analytical Instruments).
Let’s ask Rob some questions and get to know him better.
Tell us a little about your background.
I’m a SoCal boy. I’ve lived most of my life in Chino. I attended Cal Poly Pomona and studied Electrical Engineering as an undergrad. I was always shocking myself with things around the house a as kid, so Electrical Engineering just seemed right.
Tell us about your start at Teledyne.
I got a job as an Electrical Engineering Intern at Teledyne Analytical Instruments (TAI) while still in college. In 2002, I was able to join Teledyne full time as an Electrical Engineer. Teledyne allowed me to complete my MBA (also at Cal Poly) while working. I shifted to sales and held multiple sales and sales management positions. In 2021, I was promoted to Director of Worldwide Sales for Teledyne Analytical Instruments and Teledyne Monitor Labs. In 2023, I became Director of Sales for Process Instruments and Systems (Teledyne Hastings Instruments and Teledyne Analytical Instruments).
What is your current role at Teledyne?
As Director of Sales, I have global product sales responsibility for TAI and THI products. I oversee Regional Sales Managers in North America, and I share sales responsibility with our Directors of Sales in APAC and EMEA.
Outside of work, what do you like to do?
I spend lots of time getting my three kids to extracurricular activities. There’s not much free time. My family is heavily involved in Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts. We do a lot of camping. I also enjoy catching NFL games when I can.
What is your favorite thing about working at Teledyne?
The best thing about Teledyne are the people that work here. Everyone I know works extremely hard and wants to help customers. Everyone is like family. I now meet coworkers from other parts of Teledyne, and I wish I’d met them sooner.
