– I’m excited for this next stage in Plexus’ growth. Gene has been instrumental in Plexus’ continued trajectory to becoming a leader in our industry. I’ve seen his steadfast commitment to Plexus and have been inspired by his strategic vision for the company. I know he will be an inspiration for the entire organization as we continue our legacy journey – said Tarl Robinson.
Gene Tipps said: – I’m honored by the trust placed in me by Tarl and Alec. They are the epitome of what business leaders should be – brilliant, insightful, deeply invested in their people, and committed to creating the best products on the market. I know this new structure will allow an even greater partnership with them.
The new strategic council formed by Robinson and Clark as chair and vice chair will consist of four outside thought leaders and industry experts. The group will serve in both a visionary and advisory capacity.
