Sion Power Corporation, a leading technology developer of next-generation batteries for electric vehicles (EVs), announced that Pamela Fletcher has joined the company as its new CEO. Fletcher is a veteran of the automotive industry and brings a proven track record of developing and deploying electric vehicles, which she will leverage to accelerate the company’s transition to commercialization.
