“Throughout 2023 in what proved to be a challenging economic environment, TriNet focused its execution on the areas within our control,” said Burton M.

He continued, “As just announced, I am retiring and transitioning the leadership of TriNet to Mike Simonds, and I have every confidence in Mike to keep moving the company forward. I am very proud of what we created during my more than 15 years as President and CEO of TriNet. My goal was to create an enduring company, and I believe that TriNet’s best days are still ahead.”

“On behalf of the board, I would like to thank Burton for his incredible leadership,” said TriNet Chairman, David Hodgson. “We are thrilled to have Mike join TriNet as President and CEO. We have confidence that he is the right person to lead TriNet as it continues its growth.” 

“I know I speak for all TriNet colleagues when I thank Burton for his integral role in building TriNet into what it has become today,” said Kelly Tuminelli, TriNet’s Chief Financial Officer. “TriNet executed extraordinarily well throughout 2023 managing expenses prudently while investing in sales and service and executing against our capital plan which has culminated in our announced inaugural dividend.

Any of these factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from our anticipated results.

EcoFlow OASIS works with existing EcoFlow devices such as DELTA 3 Plus and RIVER 3 Plus, enabling select features like Storm Warning Alerts, Time-of-Use Mode, and Uninterrupted Power Supply. The full potential of OASIS’ smart energy management is experienced in the EcoFlow Whole-Home Power Backup Solutions, such as DELTA Pro Ultra with Smart Home Panel 2 system in North America. In Europe, the EcoFlow PowerOcean grid-tied residential energy system takes this concept even further.

EcoFlow will also launch a grid-tied, whole-home solar battery solution in the US later this year in a new product called EcoFlow OCEAN Pro, which will fully leverage OASIS’s advanced AI capabilities. Compatible with select EcoFlow power stations, OCEAN Pro offers increased energy capacity for improved power backup reliability and smarter utility bill savings.

OASIS integrates not only with EcoFlow’s products, but also with third-party devices compatible with Shelly and Matter, providing a unified view of energy sources like solar and grid power alongside real-time consumption insights—an industry first.

“With the increasingly capable systems we are introducing, EcoFlow OASIS simplifies home energy management, helping users maximize their energy investment,” Linghu said. “From charging your EV at the lowest cost to preparing for extreme weather, OASIS handles the guesswork. EcoFlow remains committed to delivering the ‘FIRST’ – flexible, innovative, reliable, simple, and thorough – power solutions.”

EcoFlow will also display at CES its full range of consumer products, including its third-gen portable power stations, integrated RV and camper van power solutions as well as its first ultra-portable solutions for mobile devices. These include:

Power Kit System: Expandable off-grid power solutions for RV and remote living, with an expandable capacity of up to 45kWh to power high-demand appliances like portable AC/heater units and refrigerators.

RAPID Series: EcoFlow’s first-ever magnetic power bank offers a built-in USB-C cable, phone stand and Qi2 15W wireless charging. It’s available in 5000mAh and 10000 mAh capacities to power devices, including phones, tablets, laptops, e-readers, ear pods and more.

Power Hat: A lightweight, outdoor-resistant solar-powered hat that charges up to two devices on-the-go with a dual USB-A/USB-C port.

Images and more information can be found in the EcoFlow media kit.
