As a result of his almost three years as a ZAGG board member, we know Brad is an outstanding leader and brings experience in all aspects of accounting and finance," stated Randy Hales, president and CEO of ZAGG. "In his role at ZAGG, we expect that Brad will expand the use of analytics to improve the company's performance, improve the rigor of cost management disciplines, and support our strategic growth objectives. In addition, his prior experience at large, multinational consumer retail companies will be particularly beneficial as we continue to expand our global distribution."
