Albuquerque, NM--CVI Melles Griot, a supplier of optics and photonic products, announced that Lynore Abbott will support the company's efforts in the Greater China Region by managing its Singapore facility and facilitating the execution of its Greater China market development plan.

She has been successful in incorporating our European staff into our product management and marketing communications strategies, essentially creating virtual teams over several time-zones and cultures.
