Pittsburgh, PA, December 18, 2007 – Plextronics’ Chief Financial Officer, Sean Rollman, was selected as one of The Pittsburgh Business Times 2007 CFO’s of the year. Rollman was the awardee in the Small Private Company category for his almost two years of work with Plextronics. The award was given out at the newspaper’s annual ceremony held on November 7, 2007, at Pittsburgh’s William Omni Penn Hotel.

Since his start in January 2006, Rollman has helped Plextronics find the funding that has enabled it to grow, including over $35 million from venture capital firms and two strategic Fortune 500 investors. Plextronics has more than doubled its employment and facilities since early 2006, and plans to double the company's size again over the next eighteen months. Plextronics also plans to build a manufacturing line for its printed solar cells.

The CFO of the Year awards were created by the Pittsburgh Business Times to honor the region’s best CFOs in several categories. The awards emphasize the roles chief financial officers play in the business community. The finalists were chosen from a field of 80 nominees from the Pittsburgh area. Judging criteria included the nominee's career achievements and contributions to the Company's growth, profitability and other aspects of corporate management.
