I am excited to announce three important and outstanding additions to the Science Corporation leadership team.
Tricia Gugler will serve as Chief Financial Officer and Alex Feerst will serve as Chief Legal Officer. They will both report directly to me. Joe Mornin will serve as General Counsel and will report to the Chief Legal Officer. All three have recently begun working with us and are based in our headquarters in Alameda, California.
I am thrilled to have them on the team. Their experience and skill will mean a lot in our efforts to help create and enable the future of the brain-computer interface industry.
