SAN FRANCISCO—Semiconductor equipment vendor Brooks Automation Inc. Tuesday (Jan. 3) appointed Mark Morelli, formerly CEO of solar equipment provider Energy Conversion Devices Inc., to the role of executive vice president and chief operating officer, effective immediately.
Morelli, 47, will have responsibility for all of Brooks' business units, the company said.
Morelli resigned his post as CEO of Energy Conversion Devices last May amid declining earnings. The company simultaneously announced it would cut its workforce by 20 percent at the time of Morelli's resignation.
Prior to his stint at Energy Conversion Devices, Morelli spent 15 years at United Technologies Corp. in domestic and international roles of increasing scope and responsibility, culminating in his appointment as the president of the company's Carrier Commercial Refrigeration business, Brooks said.
"Adding Mark's extensive experience allows us greater focus on growth initiatives, customer satisfaction, shareholder interests and optimizing Brooks for peak performance," said Steve Schwartz, CEO of Brooks, in a statement.
