Yesterday, GreenPower Motor Company Inc. announced that Sebastian Giordano had just joined the company's board of directors.
His appointment strengthens the OEM's technical, financial, and governance expertise. Giordano brings significant experience as an operator and corporate director, serving on the boards of AYRO, Inc., a NASDAQ listed low-speed electric vehicle manufacturer; DropCar, Inc., a NASDAQ-listed micro-logistics technology, mobility services, and cloud-based SaaS software provider to the automotive industry; and Transportation and Logistics Systems, Inc., as its chairman and CEO.
From 2013 to 2018, Giordano also served as a board member and CEO of WPCS International Inc. For the past 22 years, he has provided C-Level consulting services to many private and public companies across a range of industries.
Concurrent with this appointment, Cathy McLay has resigned from the board.
"GreenPower has clearly established itself as a leader in the industry," Giordano said. "I look forward to working with the other members of the board, in support of the company's management team, to help GreenPower achieve its growth objectives."
"On behalf of GreenPower, I want to thank Cathy for her dedication and commitment since her appointment in January, 2020," said Fraser Atkinson, CEO of GreenPower. "Cathy's passion for the EV space, combined with deep industry experience, has been invaluable as we have built our business and developed our strategy over the past few years. While she will be missed, I know we look forward to keeping in touch and soliciting her sage advice when appropriate."
