Until recently, Dr. Saillant served as CEO & President of Latham, NY-based Plug Power (NASDAQ:PLUG), where he re-oriented the company towards production and commercialization, and led the industry in fuel cell system installs. Prior to PLUG, Saillant was Vice President and General Manager of Visteon Corporation’s (NYSE:VC) Energy Transformation Division, where he delivered $5.5 billion of automotive components globally to the Ford Motor Company and other automotive customers.
"CellEra’s disruptive technology holds true potential to alleviate major stack cost barriers and finally unlock fuel cells’ potential for massive market penetration. I believe CellEra’s management team has the proven track record and the capacity to execute," Saillant stated.
CellEra is a portfolio company of Israel Cleantech Ventures. CellEra's management team includes Dr. Shimshon Gottesfeld, CTO; Dr. Dario R. Dekel, VP R&D; and Ziv Gottesfeld, CEO.

As a former Plug Power employee, I can say that CellEra is fortunate to have Roger Saillant on its board. He was inspiration to those who worked at Plug, and I can only assume he will continue same at CellEra. Best of luck and congratulations.
