COLLABORATOR’S NOTE

Roxanne Larcher Director of Marketing

Wow! Together, we accomplished so many things this year. As I close out 2022, and think about how we’ve made these things happen, I’m humbled and excited. (Hint: it really IS the people!) Ten months ago, I accepted the invitation to join our company. The deciding factor was the human experience I had throughout the interview process. I was struck by deeply authentic conversations, a down-to-earth company culture, and the mutual respect and comradery that shone through the discussions. Since my first day on March 7 this year, I’ve worked side-by-side with colleagues from all functional areas. These interactions continue to reinforce and validate my first impression: we are a team of hard-working people dedicated to the honorable cause of Sustainability and Efficiency coupled with a strong work ethic, a commitment to deliver on promises with integrity

and excellence, and the courage to face challenges head-on with a problem solving mindset so we win together. It’s these characteristics that brought about notable company wins: Innovation Summit NA, the largest Schneider customer event that drew some of our most important customers; the development of an integrated end-to-end commercialization process that aligns product, offer, marketing and sales; and an invigorated approach to new product launches for our traditional offers in ATS and PCS and the new innovations in the New Energy Landscape, just to name a few. This is what excites me – knowing that in 2023, we will continue earning the right to stand tall beside our achievements. It’s the combination of our unique talents we bring to our collective work each day. It’s our passion for using technology to help our customers improve their facilities power reliability. It’s our openness to new ideas and embracing new ways of doing things where it makes sense. Thank you – for your contributions to our business, to our customers and to each other. And on a personal note, thank you for helping me make one of the most rewarding career decisions I have made to date: to join this winning team of caring, talented, diverse and inclusive individuals.

Enjoy your December! ~ Roxanne
