Mexico City, Mexico - July 30, 2021
Mitsubishi Electric Automation, Inc. has announced the hiring of Felipe Rivera to serve as managing director for Mitsubishi Electric Automation, Inc.’s Mexico branch. In his new position, Rivera will develop and implement growth strategies, as well as oversee daily business operations and management.
Rivera brings a wealth of knowledge regarding market behavior within Mexico and Central America, and joins the organization with 29 years of automation experience, including executive positions at Emerson and Schneider Electric. As the vice president and general manager at Schneider Electric in Mexico City since 2014, Rivera oversaw brand equity, transformed Schneider Electric’s front-end business, and was instrumental in facilitating sales growth in the region.
