Multinational technological manufacturer Flex recently announced the appointment of Michael Hartung as President of the Agility Solutions Segment.
As part of the company’s succession planning, Hartung’s appointment follows Doug Britt’s notice of his intent to resign from the company.
Hartung has been long associated with Flex for over 15 years. He has held various roles and responsibilities including Vice President of Capital Equipment, Senior Vice President of Home & Lifestyle business, and most recently, President of Lifestyle business.
In his new capacity, Hartung will oversee the company’s Agility Solutions segment that comprises the Communications, Enterprise and Cloud (CEC), Consumer Devices, and Lifestyle business units.
To address customers’ evolving needs, he will be responsible for driving the segment’s strategy by creating differentiated end-to-end solutions, integrating a regionalized agile manufacturing model with market leading technical expertise.
“At Flex, the Agility Solutions segment has a critical role, providing scale and technology platforms to support our customers and the rest of our business,” said Revathi Advaithi, CEO at Flex.
“In this current COVID-19 crisis, our ability to move fast with discipline and deliver many products which are now deemed “essential” from our Agility Solutions segment is more important than ever. Michael has been instrumental in helping implement our new market facing segment structure and has helped build our global presence and reputation as a valued partner and solution generator in the very dynamic Lifestyle market. Michael has the right capability to build our go-forward strategy for this business that is focused on high quality with a flexible cost structure combined with agility for shorter product life cycles,” she added.
Hartung joined Flex through the acquisition of Solectron in October of 2007. He held several positions of increasing responsibility at Solectron, culminating his career there as Vice President of the Computing & Storage business unit where he was directly responsible for sales, marketing, and account management functions.
Hartung holds a bachelor’s degree in economics from the University of California, Los Angeles and attended a variety of executive education programs, most notably at Stanford University.
