Industry Veteran Brian Dusho Takes Over from Departing CEO Rick Engels,
Reaffirms Goals for 2009
MONTREAL, Feb. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- BroadSign International, a leading provider
of Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions for managing digital out-of-home
networks, announced that Chief Strategy Officer Brian Dusho has been appointed
President of the company, as Patrick (Rick) Engels has stepped down from the
post of CEO to pursue other career opportunities.
Brian Dusho is a digital signage industry veteran and a founding member of
BroadSign International. He has been instrumental in building strong sales and
marketing organisation and expanding BroadSign's foothold from North America
to Europe, Asia and Latin America. Mr. Dusho has been a visionary force in
identifying strategic market trends and gearing product development towards
them, which allowed BroadSign, a company created in 2004, to seize leading
positions in a very short span of time.
"I enjoyed working with Rick Engels, and I thank him for his commitment and
contribution since he took over 15 months ago," said Brian Dusho. "I wish Rick
all the best in his new endeavors."
Cord Christensen, also a co-founder of BroadSign international, who had been
CEO of the company in the past, has been re-appointed Chairman and CEO and
will be in charge of corporate governance.
Brian Dusho will oversee strategic product development and run day-to-day
operations.
According to Brian Dusho, his efforts will focus on boosting core revenue
streams such as software subscriptions, managed services and implementing
strategic initiatives such as BroadSign Open -- a breakthrough web-based
platform for media aggregators and buyers to plan and purchase ad space across
the BroadSign-powered universe.
"I am excited to lead BroadSign as we transform our refreshed growth plan,
industry-leading technology and recently announced partnerships into sizable
returns for our customers and shareholders," said Dusho.
"Brian has been a key manager who has conceived and executed a winning product
strategy. He is a true leader and a field expert in one, and the Board has
expressed full confidence that he will take the company to the next stage of
success," said Cord Christensen, Chairman and CEO of BroadSign International.
Following the leadership transition, corporate headquarters will be
transferred from Minnesota to Montreal, where the R&D, support, sales and
marketing departments have been located since BroadSign's inception.
