He took his previous company, SoloProtect, from a wearable device idea in the UK to sales in excess of £8m, “Focusing on international growth, customer value and product innovation,” he says, adding, “I believe Vismo is exactly the right opportunity I was looking for to step up and develop a broader range of offerings for a much wider international reach."
