Marquiss Wind Power, an innovator in wind turbine technology, this week announced the appointment of former senior Intel and FLEXTRONICS executive Paul Misso as its new president and chief executive officer.

He will oversee Marquiss' operations, including product development, sales, marketing, financing and supply chain management.

"This is an exciting time in the development of clean energy sources," Misso said. "Marquiss has outstanding products that put the power of wind to work to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels. Our products provide a cost effective way for all businesses to reduce their power costs and take a step to help our environment."

As Director of IT for Intel, Misso managed application development, support, and business analysts around the globe, including teams in the U.S., UK, China, India, Japan, Mexico, Central Europe, Latin America, Southeast Asia and the Middle East.

Velocity Venture Capital, a fund specializing in early stage investments in the greater Sacramento region, led the company's initial round of funding.
