Corvus Energy Names Brian Nguyen Vice President of Operations
RICHMOND, B.C.
(April 20, 2011) - Corvus Energy Ltd., manufacturer of the world's most
powerful lithium-ion batteries, today named Brian Nguyen vice president of
operations. Since launching in 2009, Corvus Energy has rapidly become one of
Canada's most watched technology companies through its developments in hybrid
and full-electric propulsion systems for a variety of vehicles, from ocean
submersibles to lunar rovers, and advanced storage and distribution solutions
for the renewable energy industry.
Mr. Nguyen brings more than 15 years of proven skills and successful track
records in strategic planning as well as hands-on execution in operations to
Corvus Energy. He possesses a strong combination of leadership, management,
interpersonal skills and technical proficiency, and will be a key player in
maintaining Corvus' world-class lean manufacturing and engineering practices.
Prior to joining Corvus, Mr. Nguyen held key leadership positions at Sony
Manufacturing System Corp, Ballard Power Systems, Ultrasonix Medical Corp and
Tavrida Electric North America.
Previously, Mr. Nguyen was responsible for leading new product introduction
activities throughout nine factories within Sony Manufacturing System Corp. as
well as was in charge of leading Ballard Power Systems' manufacturing team to
launch the world's first 1.2KW fuel cell product on time and on budget.
Mr. Nguyen played a key role in implementing lean manufacturing philosophy to
support Ultrasonix Medical Corporation's growth from $5 million to $30 million
in revenue in two years with no head count increases within the manufacturing
team as well as successfully led Ultrasonix to achieve a 30 percent cost
reduction in its product lines within a 12 month period.
At Corvus, Mr. Nguyen will be in charge of global operations, including issuing
quotes, coordinating production with procurement and overseeing factory set up.
Corvus' super lithium polymer energy storage modules last 10 times as long,
have four to 10 times the power and energy storage of lead-acid batteries in
one quarter of the weight and volume. They are an ideal energy storage solution
that can act as a standby source of electricity or support fuel- driven engines
to reduce fuel consumption by up to 80 percent in large- scale industrial
applications. The marine industry, ports industry and grid related applications
are a few of the areas that can be optimized using Corvus Energy solutions.
Each pack delivers at least 22 percent more power and energy density than the
most powerful lithium-ion phosphate batteries used in electric vehicles and
consumer products. The result equals cost savings in the form of reduced
battery replacement and maintenance, increased usable battery power, a smaller
environmental footprint and less weight.
