“Dave has demonstrated a tremendous amount of leadership in the development of our new products, product forecasting and product planning strategies,” said Mark Jarman, president of Inovonics. “We continue to depend on him to establish direct customer relationships in support of our product development ideas. His leadership ability proves to be vital in our efforts to amplify the large-scale promotion of Radius, our new situational awareness, wireless location and mass notification system.”
