Solidion Technology Inc. (STI), an advanced battery technology solutions provider, has appointed CEO Jaymes Winters to simultaneously serve as Chairman of the Board, effective immediately.
Winters will retain his Chief Executive Officer responsibilities while absorbing the additional duties of the combined Chairman and CEO role going forward.
The leadership consolidation is designed to bring greater alignment between Solidion’s strategic priorities and their day-to-day execution across the organization.
Solidion stated that combining the two roles is intended to provide greater continuity between the company’s strategic priorities and their execution at the operational level.
The company has also ensured independent oversight remains intact by appointing independent director Mark Schwartz as Lead Independent Director, effective September 16, 2026.
The appointment of a Lead Independent Director is intended to maintain a strong independent voice within the board’s leadership structure despite the consolidation of the top two roles.
Winters brings more than 15 years of experience as a Chief Executive across the oil and gas, telecommunications, and retail sectors, with extensive experience in mergers and acquisitions.
Prior to joining Solidion, Winters served as CEO of Nubia Brand International Corp, a Special Purpose Acquisition Company, and previously founded and led United Energy Inc. as its CEO.
Solidion also took the opportunity to recognize outgoing Chairman Bor Jang, expressing appreciation for his longstanding service, leadership, and significant contributions to the company over his tenure.
The updated governance structure reflects Solidion’s intent to further centralize its strategic direction, corporate governance, and business operations under a unified leadership approach.
Investors responded positively to the announcement, with STI shares closing Friday’s regular trading session at $6.81, up $0.24 or 3.65% on the day.
Solidion Technology continues to position itself as a key player in the advanced battery technology space as it realigns its executive and board structure for the next phase of growth.
