Ron Jakeman, HK Wentworth’s managing director, comments, “Sharon has been vital to the growth of the Asian operation over the last 17 years. She has been instrumental in developing the Beijing-based manufacturing facility from its inception in 2002 and has also steered the successful development of our new state-of-the-art R&D facility in Suzhou. More recently, Sharon has managed the relocation process to a new factory in Zhuji, which has been newly commissioned. As a people and customer centred individual with a strong history of creating highly engaged teams, Sharon has successfully secured high levels of domestic business and has the experience to take our Asian operation to the next level of growth and development. We wish Sharon every success in her new role as CEO and vice president of Asia.”
Commenting on her new appointment, Sharon Zhang said, “Since joining HKW Beijing in 2002, I’ve really enjoyed the challenge, especially the provision of innovative electronics protection solutions for the Asian market and close collaboration with customers. China has undergone substantial growth and we are proud to offer a reliable manufacturing resource for customers. I am delighted to join the board of directors at HKW Beijing and begin my new role as CEO and vice president of the Asian operation. I hope to make even more of an impact at a very vibrant time in the company’s growth.”
