"The appointment of Doug Albregts to this important position is a testament to the success of the local leadership of the business solutions team at SEC over the past few years," said Tai Jeng Wu, President and Chief Executive Officer of Sharp Corporation. "With the many great opportunities in the B2B space, SEC will focus on growing and diversifying its business technology in the Americas, working in synergy with Hon Hai's vast experience in this sector."
Prior to joining Sharp, Albregts held several executive positions within the industry, including Vice President, Enterprise Business Division, for Samsung Electronics of America and General Manager at Canvys, a division of Richardson Electronics.

"My main objective is to ensure financial stability and growth for products and services of SEC in the Americas. The additional resources and reach obtained by working with Hon Hai opens up an exciting new future for us."
