TORONTO, Jan. 6, 2014 /CNW/ - Biosign Technologies Inc. (TSXV: BIO)
("Biosign" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the appointment of
Mr. Mario Laflamme, CA, CPA as Chief Financial Officer, to replace Mr.
William Randolph (Randy) Polley, CA who will remain with the Company as
a senior business development executive.
Mr. Laflamme will oversee Biosign's finance and accounting functions,
utilizing extensive financial management and corporate development
experience gained through working with rapidly growing firms in the
technology sector in both the United States and Canada. He most
recently served as CFO for LED Roadway Lighting, a Halifax, Nova Scotia
based outdoor lighting technology company; as Managing Director of Mass
Tech Partners, a Massachusetts based business and financial management
firm; and as President & CFO of Univisions Crimson Group, a corporate
Audio/Video services firm formed by the merger of Univisions and
Crimson Tech, and sold to York Telecom. Notably, Mr. Laflamme was Vice
President, Finance and Vice President, Operations for The Learning
Company, (formerly SoftKey Software), a Canadian company that grew
through acquisitions to over $800 million in revenue and was later
acquired by Mattel Inc.
The Company wishes to thank Mr. Polley for his service as CFO. He has
helped guide Biosign through our intense restructuring period, and his
dedication, skill and professionalism are greatly appreciated. We are
pleased that he has agreed to continue working with us as a key
executive in the areas of business development and sales.
Biosign's CEO Mr. Robert Kaul stated, "We are very pleased to welcome
Mr. Laflamme to Biosign as our new CFO. He brings us specific
experience working with fast growing companies in both Canada and the
United States, which we will need as we move forward with our
previously articulated plan to grow by acquisition in 2014 and beyond.
Furthermore, as Biosign increasingly commits to doing business in
Atlantic Canada, Mr. Laflamme's location in Halifax will be a benefit
as we engage more deeply with government and industry stakeholders in
that region."
