3Com Names VP of Supply Chain

3Com Corporation has appointed Tony Wang as the company’s new Vice President of worldwide supply chain.

Tony’s key focus is to integrate the company’s two supply chains – one in China and one U.S.-based – into a single, highly efficient global organization to deliver enterprise products that lead the industry in innovation, performance and value proposition.

By establishing a worldwide supply chain the company hopes to reduce costs and improve operational efficiency.

Wang managed the company’s manufacturing operations. Previously, he spent more than 20 years with networking company Alcatel in China and Taiwan, rising to General Manager of Alcatel Business Systems.
