I am pleased to congratulate Jiang on her promotion. I
am confident that Jiang’s wealth of financial and managerial experience with
multinational technology companies will continue to provide UTStarcom with
prudent financial management and strategic insight,” said Jack Lu, president
and CEO of UTStarcom.
