Shake up at Celestica

Contract electronics manufacturer Celestica Inc., has made changes to its management team in the wake of its more than doubled fourth-quarter losses.

The company let go of its chief technology officer, executive vice-president of global operations, senior vice-president for corporate strategy, senior vice-president of human resources and senior vice-president of global sales.

The moves come just days after the Toronto-based company announced a fourth quarter loss of US$60.8 million, or 27 cents a share.

The announcement was made by chief executive officer Craig Muhlhauser, who was hired by Celestica’s controlling shareholder, Onex Corp., last fall to try and turn the company around. Muhlhauser also announced the appointment of John Peri to the position of executive vice- president of global operations. Peri previously held the role of president of Asia operations, with responsibility for Celestica’s manufacturing footprint in China, Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand.

The company has also recruited Guy Delisle, from Sanmina-SCI, to run its operations in Monterrey, Mexico.
