Dr. Zhengrong Shi, Suntech’s chairman and chief executive officer said, In her former role as Executive VP of Corporate Development and Chief Financial Officer of Solectron, Susan was instrumental in guiding Solectron to grow into one of the largest electronic manufacturing services companies in the world. Through that experience, Susan acquired extensive knowledge of multi-national operations and sales development, corporate finance and global M&A, all within a highly innovative and growth oriented corporate culture much like Suntech’s.
Dr. Shi added, Susan’s experience from the EMS industry will be invaluable as Suntech moves to simultaneously enhance operating efficiency, implement lean supply chain management and reduce manufacturing cost. Our ongoing automation initiatives through our subsidiary KSL-Kuttler and the transition to our high efficiency Pluto technology will be key drivers of these efforts. We are delighted to welcome Susan to our Board of Directors, and look forward to her guidance as we move to extend Suntech’s leadership in the solar industry.
