Sensata Announces Appointment of Martha Sullivan as President & CEO

Sensata Technologies Holding N.V. announced the promotion and appointment of Martha Sullivan as President in addition to her current role as Chief Operating Officer, effective immediately.

Sullivan has served as Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer and a Director of several of Sensata’s operating subsidiaries since the Sensors & Controls (S&C) business was spun off from Texas Instruments in April 2006.

Commenting on Sullivan’s new role, Tom Wroe, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman said, "In this new, expanded role, Martha will help Sensata continue its rich history of leadership and innovation in mission-critical sensing, electrical protection and power management. Her appointment by the board as president recognizes the important role she has played in the success of the business to-date as well as the important role she will play in the future as she continues to oversee the operations of the company and contributes to the formulation of its strategic direction."

Sullivan joined Texas Instruments in 1984 and held various management positions, including Precision Controls Marketing Manager, Automotive Marketing Manager and North American Sensors General Manager. She was named Sensor Products Global Business Unit Manager for the S&C business of Texas Instruments in June 1997 and a Vice President of Texas Instruments in 1998.
