Apen has more than 20 years experience in business development, product management and technology development in global high-tech industries. He comes to MiaSolé from E-Ink Holdings, where he was the chief business development officer, with primary responsibility for alliance and partner development and intellectual property strategy. Apen also held leadership positions in global business management, product management and technology development at Honeywell International.

“This is an extraordinarily exciting time in the solar industry and MiaSolé is uniquely positioned to cement its role as one of the leading innovators and CIGS (copper indium gallium selenide) manufacturers,” said Joseph Laia, president and CEO at MiaSolé. “The collective experience and expertise that Rob and Paul bring to the table will be instrumental in our current and future plans to expand our business and more effectively articulate our value proposition to the marketplace.”
