I am confident he can build upon our existing infrastructure to accommodate our continued growth plans, integrate our financial systems, and fine-tune our processes while maintaining our fiscal conservatism."
The chief financial officer position is newly created at IdentiSys, according to IdentiSys chairman and chief executive officer Michael R. Shields.
