Ridgefield Park, N.J. - DVTel Inc., multiple award-winning market leader in delivering integrated IP security solutions for surveillance and monitoring, announced the addition of four new staff in the U.S., in addition to two new UK staff announced in late January. Coming just weeks after DVTel moved to a new and expanded headquarters, the new hires increases the global sales team to 13 members located throughout the U.S., the U.K, and Asia.
Eli Gorovici, DVTel CEO, commented, "As we successfully expand our business further into important vertical markets like gaming and transportation, it's clear we need more staff, but only highly experienced, knowledgeable staff. We've got a great team and we?re continuing to grow." DVTel's new staff include:
J. Steven Rice, Director Strategic Channel Development, brings more than 25 years of experience in the hi-tech industry in both software and hardware manufacturing, including over four years experience in IP surveillance video. Steve is responsible for developing DVTel?s global IT channel business. Formerly, Steve was a Senior Practice Manager at StorageTek with global responsibility for the company's Security Surveillance Program.
