Management change for USCOM in 2010
Monday 4th January 2010: Uscom (ASX code: UCM) today announced that Mr Paul Butler will resign as CEO and Director in response to the ongoing international travel requirements related to the Company’s geographical market expansion. The Company is now seeking to recruit a new CEO, plus a Global Sales Manager to enhance the commercial management team. Nick Schicht will continue in his role as General Manager, while the position of interim CEO will be occupied by Mr Rob Phillips, the Uscom Executive Chairman. Paul Butler joined Uscom in 2002 and was appointed to the position of Uscom CEO in January 2007. From 1[st] February 2010 Paul will continue with Uscom on a consultative basis working on business development projects.
Rob Phillips, the Executive Chairman of Uscom and Director of Clinical Science said “Paul has been integral in determining the culture, strategy and operations of Uscom and leaves the CEO role with the Company in a strong position. Uscom has a strong global marketing partnership, good cash reserves and is poised for revenue growth, with additional strategic partnership opportunities in discussion. Prior to his appointment as CEO, Paul supervised the design and development of the USCOM device and was part of the management team which took the Company public. The Board of Directors is grateful to Paul for his energy, dedication and loyalty and we look forward to his on going contribution to Uscom.
We believe an expanded globally focussed management team will best capitalise on the rapidly evolving international opportunities and will mark 2010 as the beginning of a new growth phase for the Company as our worldwide marketing strategy begins to gain traction.”
