Reporting to CEO Jeff Waters, Babcock will be responsible for all revenue 
generating processes, accelerating the company's expansion strategy and 
international growth, and delivering the best experience to installation 
partners, distributors and customers globally. He will be also responsible for 
identifying new revenue opportunities and pioneering new markets for the 
company. In his role, Babcock will lead all market-facing/go-to-market 
functions.

"We are pleased to add an industry veteran of Mark's caliber to our talented 
leadership team," said Jeff Waters, CEO at Maxeon Solar Technologies. "Mark 
brings extensive experience managing international high-performing teams and 
building sales channels to drive sustainable growth. These proven skills and 
his deep solar industry knowledge will help Maxeon continue our global 
downstream growth trajectory."  

Babcock's management career spans over two decades with 15 years of VP-level 
experience. Before joining Maxeon Solar Technologies, he was Managing Partner 
at Eurogility, a market entry consultancy firm. Prior to that, Babcock held 
senior positions in the distributed generation solar businesses of Flex, 
SunEdison and SunPower, with regional and global responsibilities. He also 
covered management roles at Carrier Corporation and United Technologies Fire 
and Security. Babcock began his career at NationsBank (now Bank of America). 

"I am excited to join Maxeon at this pivotal stage of its evolution as an 
independent company and to work with such a passionate team to execute our 
strategy for growing the existing business in over 100 countries while 
expanding into new high-potential markets," commented Babcock. "I look forward 
to helping achieve Maxeon's compelling purpose by enabling our customers 
globally in Powering Positive Change." 

This appointment comes at a time of growth and expansion for Maxeon. In August 
the company became an independent public entity, spinning off from SunPower 
Corporation and being listed at NASDAQ. Babcock will be joining the growing 
Maxeon's team at its Singapore Headquarters.

With Mark Babcock joining the company, Jim Dawe, Vice-President Global Sales 
and Marketing of SunPower Corporation, will transition his responsibilities to 
Mark during the remainder of the year.
