Press release from the issuing company:
SpencerMetrics Inc., a leading provider of data-driven productivity solutions for manufacturing operations, has appointed Vishal Sahay as president of the corporation. In addition, Yutak Kwok will serve as vice president – technology; and Catherine Fiasconaro as vice president – operations.
A veteran of the company for over two decades, Sahay (pictured below) graduated from Bangalore University and earned a Master’s degree at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). Yutak Kwok earned his Bachelor’s in Imaging Technology at RIT and a Master’s in Information Science. Catherine (Cathy) Fiasconaro, our longest serving employee, earned her Bachelor’s in economics at Stony Brook University; Cathy also leads our Test Laboratory. With these appointments our Founder David Spencer (Bachelor’s & Master’s, MIT in CS/EE) assumes the role of CEO/chairman, transferring all day-to-day operational authority to new President Vishal Sahay.
The management team has a deep understanding of the industry. SpencerMetrics Inc. (previously Spencer & Associates Publishing, Ltd.) began business in 1989 with Spencer & Associates consultants in digital color printing. Consulting evolved into the SpencerLab quality and performance test laboratory serving premier industrial and consumer print/packaging companies. With Vishal, Yutak, and Cathy on the team, an assignment to test real-world productivity led to automating that methodology and subsequent deployment in 2014. Thus began the strategic transition for SpencerMetrics growth, retaining the values of collaboration and customer satisfaction.
“This change in the name of our corporation and the recognition of management responsibilities for our team is another step forward,” said David Spencer. “It is a direct reflection of our belief that our success is built on the combined knowledge, creativity, hard work and dedication of the key members of our team. Vishal Sahay, Catherine Fiasconaro, and Yutak Kwok have been instrumental to our success, and we are thrilled to formally acknowledge their roles and responsibilities.”
“Being a part of this company’s journey has been incredibly rewarding”, noted Catherine Fiasconaro, Vice President – Operations, “and I am honored to be assuming these increased responsibilities. This is a testament to SpencerMetrics’ commitment to its customers and its people, and we are all excited to contribute to the company’s continued growth.”
