“Chunyuan is a great team and business leader with a deep technology background and market knowledge of the North Asia region, and a broad grasp of ABB’s portfolio,” said Chief Executive Officer Ulrich Spiesshofer. “He also stands out for his intimate relations with customers in North Asia and worldwide, and profound understanding of their needs. I’m confident that Chunyuan will continue to drive profitable growth, business-led collaboration and relentless execution throughout this key region for ABB.”
