Mumbai, India [January 06, 2009] – Emerson Network Power, a business of Emerson (NYSE:EMR) and the global leader in enabling Business-Critical Continuity™, has appointed Stephen Liang as President for the Emerson Network Power Systems business in Asia Pacific.

 

Liang, who has led Emerson Network Power in China for the past 8 years, will take on the additional role of President, Emerson Network Power Systems Asia. The Systems business incorporates all of Network Power’s activities in the region, including the Liebert, Energy Systems, Emerson Network Power China Co.
