ROAL Electronics announced the promotion of Alessandro Leopardi to the key position of Managing Director (CEO). This announcement was followed closely by the confirmation of his appointment as a member of the Board of Directors.

Leopardi started his career at ROAL Electronics in 1990 as Export Sales Manager. Prior to becoming CEO, he served as General Manager and Sales Director for ROAL Electronics from September 2000 to the present.

Upon acceptance Leopardi stated that, "I am very honoured to accept this new challenge. My entire career has been dedicated to ROAL, but what is particularly exciting is that I’m going to be a part of a different and renewed ROAL, one with a strengthened vision and purpose of revitalizing how mankind thinks of energy. We are focusing our strategies to provide more technologically advanced solutions within the power conversion field. Our intent is to serve our customers not just with products, but with products that demonstrate our respect for a higher quality of life, and our renewed appreciation for the world we live in."

According to Leopardi, ROAL is the only Italian company active in this competitive and difficult world of power and power conversion. He said, "I am very proud to represent our company and my country in this ever-changing and increasingly competitive market, and will passionately dedicate myself to moulding ROAL into a company recognized for its leadership role in bringing focus to the need for more energy efficient, and ‘human’ products and technologies."

Succeeding Leopardi as World Wide Sales and Marketing Director is Don Mulvey, who possesses more than 19 years of industry experience in engineering, sales and marketing management in both the US and International market spaces.
