TE Connectivity Ltd. (TEL) said Friday its Chief Financial Officer Robert Hau would resign next month, and the company has begun a search for his replacement.

TE, formerly part of Tyco International (TYC) and headquartered in Switzerland, is a maker of connectivity and sensor products used by telecommunications companies as well as by automotive, aerospace and energy companies, among others.

Mr. Hau joined TE Connectivity in 2012 and has been located at the company's U.S. headquarters in Berwyn, Penn. His decision to step down, effective March 4, is the result of a decision to relocate his family to the Midwest, TE Connectivity said in a regulatory filing, adding that it has started a search for evaluating candidates to replace him.

The company said it expects to appoint Mario Calastri, who is currently treasurer, as acting CFO in the interim.

In its latest quarter, TE Connectivity's earnings declined 25% from a year earlier as the company struggled with a strong U.S. dollar, soft demand from China and weakness in oil-exposed industrial business.
