Divergent Technologies names Cooper Keller COO
Divergent Technologies, based in Torrance, California, USA, has named Cooper Keller as Chief Operating Officer. In this role, Keller will help lead the company in its next phase of growth.
Having joined Divergent as a key foundational member, the company reported that Keller played a critical role in establishing the company’s operational capability. As COO, Keller will oversee all customer application functions, including application engineering, programme management, supply chain, quality assurance, and production.
According to Divergent, Keller’s leadership drove customer adoption and the scale-up of its manufacturing platform, DAPS (Divergent Adaptive Production System), positioning the business to meet increasing global demand. Before joining Divergent, Cooper led the development of numerous automotive, transportation, aerospace and defence products at Eaton Corporation, ranging from roots-type mechanical superchargers for high-performance engines to non-explosive actuators for satellite systems.
“Cooper is a world-class operator,” stated Lukas Czinger, CEO and co-founder of Divergent. “As a leader, he blends vision with operational precision to push our products, our processes and our teams to new levels of performance and excellence. I’m confident that Cooper taking the COO position strengthens our business – specifically, our ability to deliver products with unprecedented speed, adaptability, and quality.”
According to Divergent, its expanded leadership team is expected to position the company to deepen customer partnerships, scale production, and accelerate adoption of DAPS. To date, Divergent has secured contracts across aerospace, defence, and automotive, including partnerships with Lockheed Martin, RTX, McLaren, Aston Martin, General Atomics, Bugatti, Saab, Triumph Group, and more, to deliver 600+ unique parts, from individual sustainment parts to integrated assemblies.
Keller added, “I’m honoured to step into the role of Chief Operating Officer. With multiple customer programs already in production and more in development, we are uniquely positioned to scale our manufacturing system into a globally secular advantage, expanding the application of DAPS into new verticals, and delivering transformative impact across critical industries. Having been part of the company’s growth since the early days, I’ve seen the strength of our platform and our team, and I look forward to driving the operational excellence required to expand our capabilities and deliver at increasing scale.”
