Mr. Delisle joins Celestica from Sanmina-SCI, with over 20 years of experience in the electronics manufacturing services industry. Guy will report directly to Craig Muhlhauser.
Additional organizational changes were announced by the company today. These changes reflect Celesticas efforts to establish a more efficient and clearly defined organization aligned to its business strategy and to create a streamlined, high-performing organization focused on delivering profitable growth and the ultimate customer experience.
These changes include:
Celesticas Corporate Strategy team will now be aligned with the companys Strategic Business Development group. As a result, Art Cimento, Senior Vice President, Corporate Strategy will be leaving Celestica. Since joining the company in 1999, Mr. Cimento helped to guide Celesticas growth through his deep understanding of industry trends and their impact on Celestica and its customers.
Responsibility for the Global Human Resources organization will transition to Elizabeth DelBianco, who will also continue in her role as the companys Chief Legal Officer. Lisa Colnett, Senior Vice President, Human Resources has announced her intention to leave Celestica. One of Celesticas founding executives, Ms. Colnett has done an excellent job leading and strengthening
More
the Global Human Resources organization over the past three years. Throughout her career with Celestica she held a number of senior roles including Chief Information Officer (CIO).
The companys Sales function will now fall under the appropriate market segment teams and will be aligned with global customer business units. As a result, Robert Sellers, Senior Vice President, Global Sales will be leaving the business. Mr. Sellers played a key role in instilling a disciplined, consultative selling approach throughout Celesticas Global Sales organization, positioning Celestica for future success.
The Global Engineering and Technology Organization will now be aligned with the Operations Planning team and Dan Shea, Chief Technology Officer, will retire from the company. Mr. Shea joined Celestica from IBM Canada as one of the organizations original management team. He has provided tremendous leadership throughout his career at Celestica and over the past few years has driven the companys reputation as a technology leader.
Our new organization design will consolidate functions within the current organization, reducing overlap and duplication in roles and responsibilities and driving clearer accountability, greater simplicity and increased speed, said Muhlhauser.
