Washington D.C., June 17, 2026 – PerkinElmer, global leader in analytical & testing solutions for applied and food markets and in specialized life sciences services, is pleased to announce that Michael Stubblefield, Chief Executive Officer of PerkinElmer, has been elected to the Board of Directors of the US-China Business Council (USCBC).
Michael joins USCBC's board as part of its newly elected officer and member cohort, which named Visa CEO Ryan McInerney as board chair and welcomed leaders from companies including NIKE, Procter & Gamble, and Dow. A nonpartisan organization founded in 1973, USCBC advocates on behalf of major American companies operating in China, with a focus on fairness, equitable treatment, and improved market access.
“I am honored to join the USCBC Board of Directors,” said Michael Stubblefield, Chief Executive Officer of PerkinElmer. “PerkinElmer has operated in China since 1978, and the country remains an important market for our analytical, food, and life sciences customers and a significant part of our global operations. With nearly five decades of presence here, I look forward to working alongside fellow board members to support an open market environment for continued investment and meaningful partnerships with Chinese industry. At PerkinElmer, we believe in the power of science to transform our world, and we exist to create a healthier, safer, and more sustainable future for all."
“We are pleased to welcome Michael to USCBC’s Board of Directors,” said Sean Stein, President of the US-China Business Council. “With firsthand experience living and working in China early in his career and now leading one of the earliest US companies to enter the Chinese market nearly 50 years ago, Michael brings a unique perspective. Together with PerkinElmer's long history in China, we look forward to Michael’s contribution to our mission.”
