I look forward to building upon that foundation to position SPG for high growth, as well as create opportunities for its employees and value for its shareholders. We wish to thank Tom Rooney, SPG Solar’s former CEO, for his contribution in building a leadership team to steer the company through its recent accomplishments.”
