ARRIS, a leader in advanced manufacturing for high-performance composites, announced the appointment of Kevin Yeaman, President and CEO of Dolby Laboratories, to its Board of Directors. Yeaman brings deep expertise in introducing and scaling innovative technologies, pioneering licensing models, and growing a globally recognized brand.
Founded in 2017, ARRIS pioneered Additive Molding—a new category of manufacturing that uses patented methods, materials, and software to produce lighter, stronger, and more sustainable composite parts.
Under Yeaman's leadership, Dolby's technology has become essential to billions of consumer electronics devices, including TVs, mobile devices, cars, and PCs. His experience directly parallels ARRIS' strategy to scale its proprietary technology and composite material innovation across mass-market industries through licensing and strategic partnerships.
"I'm honored to have Kevin on our board," said Riley Reese, CEO of ARRIS Composites. "Dolby's journey—from manufacturing hardware to becoming a dominant force in technology licensing built on powerful IP—is a blueprint for the path we envision at ARRIS. Kevin's experience navigating a licensing business and building a world-class brand will be invaluable as we empower the world's leading companies to realize the full potential of our composite technology."
Founded in 2017, the ARRIS team created a new manufacturing category called Additive Molding by pioneering the development of patented software, materials, and high-volume production methods to create advanced composite parts that are lighter, stronger, and more sustainable.
The company's strategy involves enabling creators with the ARRIS Technology, mirroring Dolby's successful model of providing tools to content creators to drive ecosystem-wide adoption.
"I am thrilled to join the ARRIS board at such a pivotal moment in the company's growth," said Yeaman. "ARRIS has a transformative technology that is poised to redefine manufacturing for a host of industries, much in the way Dolby redefined audio and imaging experiences. Their vision for licensing a platform that enables new product possibilities is the kind of strategy that builds enduring value. I look forward to working with the team to help scale the business and establish ARRIS as an essential component for the next generation of products."
