RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Kapsch USA One other thing relating to Kapsch that is interesting.
Darby Swank, hired by ETC (VP Major Accounts) as of October 4, was promoted to SVP, Sales of Kapsch TrafficCom North America as of May 4, 2021. So he was in that position for only 5 months. It has to make you wonder if Kapsch is in something of a state of disarray.
Anyways, take a look at the following. It's pretty clear that Darby Swank is absolutely NOT just a high-end sales guy.

Looks like a very impressive ETC hire. Darby, if you see this, welcome to ETC and Quarterhill.
