Itron, Inc. (NASDAQ: ITRI), a world-leading technology and
services company dedicated to the resourceful use of energy and
water, announced today the appointment of Diana Tremblay, vice
president of Global Business Services at General Motors (GM)
Company, and Frank Jaehnert, former president and chief executive
officer of Brady Corporation, to its board of directors effective
June 1, 2015. In addition, Graham Wilson retired from the board
effective May 8, 2015.
Tremblay brings nearly 40 years of manufacturing experience to

she has held a variety of positions in engineering, manufacturing
and labor relations. Most recently, as leader of GM’s newly formed
Global Business Services, she is charged with streamlining
administrative processes to improve service quality, reduce
complexity and achieve cost efficiencies of more than 30 percent by
2017.
Jaehnert served as president and chief executive officer of
Brady Corporation, the $1.2 billion Milwaukee-based global
manufacturer of industrial identification and specialty coated
material products, from 2003 to 2013. Jaehnert brings 20 years of
experience working at a public company where he played a key role
in the company’s growth via acquisitions, completing some 30
strategically synergistic acquisitions that expanded Brady’s global
reach.
“Diana Tremblay and Frank Jaehnert are both ideal candidates for
Itron’s board of directors, bringing diverse experience and fresh
perspectives to the board. We look forward to benefiting from
Diana’s wealth of knowledge in manufacturing and Frank’s depth of
experience growing an international company,” said Jon Eliassen,
chairman of Itron’s board of directors.
“In anticipation of a number of upcoming board retirements, we
have been engaged in very proactive and thoughtful succession
planning as we refresh our board. I would like to acknowledge and
thank Graham Wilson for his many years of service on the board and
welcome Diana and Frank,” added Eliassen.
“As Itron continues to focus on adding business value through
software and services, Diana will bring tremendous insights and
expertise to our company with her strong manufacturing background
and experience with GM’s services business. We will greatly benefit
from Frank’s global experience and expertise in strategic
acquisitions as we continue to explore growth opportunities,” said
Philip Mezey, Itron’s president and chief executive officer.
