“We are excited to welcome Gary, Michael, and Steve to iBase-t’s Advisory Board at this important stage of our evolution,” said Naveen Poonian, CEO of iBase-t. “We look forward to working with this highly accomplished team of executives to further refine our solutions, expand our market share, and enhance our network of strategic partners and resellers. Manufacturing continues to see unprecedented growth and commitment to digital transformation. Collaborating with this board gives us the focus to scale faster and meet market demand while maintaining a focus on innovation and customer satisfaction.”
