We are very pleased to have Bruce join us as Chief Financial Officer, said John Sheridan, president and chief executive officer of Ballard Power. Bruce brings a great deal of experience to the table, and has proven history moving a company from early stage development through to a highly profitable business. With Bruce’s financial depth, both with a global operations company and with specialized technology companies, he has the ideal background to be Ballard’s Chief Financial Officer.
I am looking forward to joining Ballard at this very important time, when the company is so focused on achieving profitability, said Cousins. The prospects for Ballard are very exciting, and I am especially pleased to join the company that is so well known for starting the fuel cell industry, and is now the producer of world leading commercial fuel cell products.
