Celestica Inc. appointed Steven Dorwart as president of its Connectivity and Cloud Solutions division on July 6, 2026. He succeeds Jason Phillips, who will remain with the company as an adviser through the end of 2026.

Dorwart brings 21 years of experience at Celestica to his new role. Prior to his appointment, he led global accounts within the Connectivity and Cloud Solutions segment. The division he now oversees includes data-center networking, compute, and storage activity, as well as high-speed Ethernet platforms and rack-level systems.

Celestica provides design, engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, and platform solutions for advanced infrastructure. Its offerings include networking, compute, storage, rack integration, and power and thermal systems tailored for artificial intelligence, cloud, and hybrid-cloud environments. The company, headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, is a Canadian technology firm established in 1994 and is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker CLS.

Celestica reported a three-year compound annual growth rate of 185 percent through July 12, 2026, reflecting strong demand for its infrastructure solutions. The leadership transition in its Connectivity and Cloud Solutions division comes amid sustained expansion in data-center and cloud-related markets.

Why It Matters

The appointment of Dorwart signals continuity in leadership for a key division driving Celestica’s growth. His deep institutional knowledge—built over more than two decades with the company—and prior role managing global accounts position him to maintain strategic direction in a segment critical to AI and cloud infrastructure demand.

With Phillips remaining in an advisory capacity through year-end, the transition allows for an overlap period to support operational stability. Celestica’s rapid growth underscores the strategic importance of its Connectivity and Cloud Solutions business, which provides core technologies underpinning modern data infrastructure.
