The photovoltaics industry has been growing at a rate of 20 percent to 30 percent per year over the last decade, and industry analysts estimate momentum should continue at a two-digit pace until 2030.

"Jeannine's unique combination of management, marketing and business development experience make her an outstanding choice to guide Oerlikon Solar into the future as we continue to strengthen our lead in the global solar market," said Dr. Uwe Krüger, CEO of Oerlikon.
"Demand for sustainable alternative energy has led to the tremendous growth of the solar energy market. The addition of Jeannine to our already experienced solar team further strengthens Oerlikon's ability to lead the way in making solar energy an environmental and economic reality. We welcome her to the team and look forward to her leadership."
"I am pleased to join Oerlikon and participate in advancing the company as a market leader in solar energy solutions," Sargent said.
"There are synergies and lessons learned to apply toward technology investment and product development between the emerging solar market and the complex, fast-paced industries of semiconductors, communications and nanotechnology that I have contributed to over the years. I look forward to leading this business to new levels."
