Vertiv also announced the appointment of Robert Zhu as President for Vertiv North Asia.

From the CEO

“This is a critical moment for Vertiv and our industry. Innovation, agility and the ability to deliver smart, sustainable solutions around the globe are the keys to our success,” said Johnson. “With Stephen’s deep experience in evaluating market trends and driving product innovation as well as his proven leadership across our organization, I can’t imagine anyone being more prepared to help us navigate the opportunities ahead.”

“Both Robert and Anand are experienced leaders. They have demonstrated exceptional customer focus and a belief in our culture during their time with Vertiv,” said Johnson. “Both regions possess the ability to grow the top and bottom line, and additional focus on these two areas will allow us to respond to our customers faster – a key tenet in these moves.”

Liang, Sanghi and Zhu are the latest in a series of key leadership appointments for Vertiv. In January, Erin Dowd became the CHRO from her prior role as VP, Global HR. Stephanie Gill also joined the company as Chief Legal Counsel, bringing almost 25 years of legal experience, including positions as General Counsel and Corporate Secretary.
