Professional Journey

Kirkpatrick joined Flex in 2006. Flex does not publish the roles he held in his first years with the company, and this profile does not attempt to reconstruct them.

His current position is a business-unit presidency rather than the group presidency: Flex’s leadership team lists him as President, Lifestyle, Consumer Devices, and Core Industrial, one of several presidents who run the company’s operating businesses under chief executive Revathi Advaithi. The unit’s name describes its reach, from consumer and lifestyle products to industrial manufacturing, and Flex describes his remit as leading global businesses serving many of the world’s leading brands.

Flex has announced plans to spin off its Cloud and Power Infrastructure segment as an independent, publicly traded company, a separation it said in July 2026 it expected to complete in the first calendar quarter of 2027. On 29 July 2026 Flex announced the leadership of both. Advaithi is to lead the spin-off, Michael Hartung is to become chief executive of Flex, and Kirkpatrick was named President, Integrated Technology Solutions, one of two business presidents in the Flex team alongside Mike Thoeny, President, Regulated Manufacturing Solutions. Flex’s preliminary proxy statement of September 2026 lists him among the people expected to serve as Flex’s executive officers after the separation. Flex has said the appointments take effect when the spin-off completes.
