Vincent Pilette Joins Logitech as CFO
NEWARK, Calif. Sept. 3, 2013 and LAUSANNE, Switzerland, Sept. 4, 2013 Logitech International (SIX: LOGN) (Nasdaq: LOGI) today announced that Vincent Pilette has joined the company as chief financial officer (CFO), effective Sept. 3, 2013. Pilette reports directly to Logitechs president and chief executive officer, Bracken P. Darrell.
Vincent Pilette joins Logitech from Electronics for Imaging, a Silicon Valley public company (Nasdaq: EFII), where he served as CFO for nearly three years. Prior to joining EFI, Pilette spent 14 years at Hewlett-Packard, holding a variety of finance positions in the U.S. and EMEA.
Were excited to have Vincent join Logitechs leadership team, said Bracken P. Darrell. Through his roles with HP and EFI, Vincent brings a unique skill set to the position. And his direct experience as CFO of a company that repositioned itself to become a dynamic growth company aligns well with our goals and strategy.
During Pilettes tenure at EFI, the company significantly grew its revenue, more than doubled its operating profit and completed several acquisitions. Before joining EFI, Pilette held the position of vice president of finance for HPs multi-billion dollar server, storage and networking business. He holds an M.S. degree in engineering and business from Université Catholique de Louvain in Belgium and an M.B.A. from Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University in Chicago.
There is a lot of opportunity ahead for Logitech, which has an innovative culture, a strong brand and a robust balance sheet, added Pilette. I look forward to learn from and work with the entire Logitech team to deliver on the goals and strategy.
