   I am very excited to announce that I am a member of a new company Everywhere Communications Inc. and great new team of leaders and investors to address a pressing need in the area of remote worker and asset monitoring, safety and security. I can\'t wait to share our powerful technology and solutions across the broad set of industries and the enterprise and government entities that operate within them. Joining EVERYWHERE Communications was an easy decision because they have a new suite of solutions that will provide vital communication links to save lives, improve security, and create productivity solutions on a global scale for people and assets deployed by commercial and government enterprises that require connectivity for safety, security and productivity.When the CEO approached me and told me that we could once again work together to provide a product to improve safety, tracking, and communications just like we both have done in the past I jumped at the opportunity.I\'m responsible for developing EVERYWHERE\'s distribution and direct channels to market. I have done this frequently in my sales and business development career. I know that the best way to be successful is to provide a good path to revenue for your distribution partners and a compelling offer to the end user.Here is what I bring to the EVERYWHERE team:• Accelerating the delivery of IoT: Wireless Communication, Tracking & Location, Safety Solutions• Creating mutually beneficial business relationships between distributors and suppliers • Appreciating the requirements for distribution to government, enterprise, and consumer markets • Managing and motivating the sales and business development team• Positioning of our premier solutions as we introduce new products to new markets• A track record for increasing a company’s valuation
