PLI G&L Operations Organization Change

Now reporting to Chad:

In addition to the above changes, I have decided to reorganize the Safety and Quality Department for G&L as follows:
- Judy Borisov will continue to report to me and will continue to oversee Safety and Quality needs for G&L
- Judy will now relocate to LV2 and be responsible for LV2 quality efforts
- Aditya Holkar will continue to report to Judy but he will now focus on LV1 quality efforts
With these changes, we continue to refine and improve on our journey started one year ago when we kicked off the Centers of Excellence Project.
