A123 Systems CEO and leadership

As both a business leader and a growth strategist, I have broad expertise in all aspects of leading a successful business. New challenges excite me, and I build and lead teams to realize significant growth in revenue and profitability. I’m a progressive-thinking problem-solver, applying the theory that while business problems themselves may be quite complex, the solutions can often be broken down into manageable components. With extensive experience working in the international markets of Asia and Europe, I bring a global perspective to my work.

Most recently engaged as President and CEO of A123 Systems, I managed all operational, financial, and strategic initiatives for this global manufacturer of lithium-ion battery solutions. During my tenure, I grew the company’s original equipment manufacturer (OEM) customer base by 250%, doubled annual revenue, and moved the company to profitability. With my proven history of turnaround management, my ability to create and lead high-performing teams, and my strong business and financial acumen, I am poised to make a swift and meaningful contribution to a dynamic organization.
