President and Chief Executive Officer

As Celestica’s President and CEO, I am energized by the challenge of transforming the company to grow profitably for the long term and ensuring that we anticipate and respond to the needs of our global customers. Prior to becoming CEO, I was Celestica’s President and Executive Vice President of Worldwide Sales and Business Development.

Before joining Celestica in May 2005, I held the role of President and CEO of Exide Technologies. Prior to that, I was a Vice President of Ford Motor Company and the President of Visteon Automotive Systems. Throughout my career, I’ve worked in a range of industries spanning the consumer, industrial, utility, automotive and aerospace and defense sectors. I leverage this experience to develop creative solutions that make Celestica’s customers successful.

In my personal time, I’m active in local charities. I have many interests, including spending as much time as I can with family, friends and especially my five grandchildren….it brings me back to reality.
