Executive Director of Uscom, Rob Phillips said, “Sheena and Christian bring the right skill sets to Uscom to consolidate the Company as it moves to re-establish sound operations overseen by a transparent and stable Board. I welcome Sheena and Christian to Uscom and look forward to the contribution they will both make in growing the Company.”
In coming Board member, Sheena Jack said, “Uscom is a great emerging Australian Company with established technology and global product recognition.
