安捷伦调整业务架构并任命两个新业务集团总裁

　　2014年11月20日，安捷伦宣布，公司已任命两个新的业务集团总裁，并调整业务架构以更好地服务客户。

　　Patrick Kaltenbach被任命为安捷伦高级副总裁，以及旗下生命科学和应用市场业务集团 (LSAG) 总裁。LSAG包含化学分析集团和生命科学业务，这一新的调整将使安捷伦大部分仪器和软件产品业务集中在在一个集团内，更好地服务于具有类似需求的分析实验室。

　　Jacob Thaysen被任命为安捷伦高级副总裁，以及旗下诊断和基因业务集团(DGG) 总裁。这个新业务集团包含诊断和基因业务，将更好地服务于临床实验室的需求。

　　这两项任命立即生效。

　　生命科学和诊断集团 (LDG) 总裁Fred Strohmeier宣布，计划在FY15第二季度退休。目前，他将作为公司的顾问直到退休。

　　“我们今天宣布的架构调整，是为了轻松、高效、一个出口服务于我们的客户，”安捷伦总裁、首席运营官和候任首席执行官Mike McMullen补充道，“我们是根据市场需求调整了业务组织架构，而不是简单根据技术，所做的调整是为了让我们的客户能够以更简单、更直接的方式得到产品、软件和服务。”
