My focus will be on building on that foundation, investing in our people, expanding our capabilities, and continuing to be the partner our customers turn to for their most demanding applications. The market for advanced microelectronics assembly is growing, and I believe we are exceptionally well-positioned to serve it. I look forward to leading this team into that next chapter.”
