As many of you know, we lost a great asset to our team when Andy Dill passed away last month. Sadly, we need to fill his spot. Below is the job description. It was through posting on this site that we found Andy so I am hopeful we will have the same great luck again.
Happy New Year to all of you. Hope to see you at Internext!
Cheers, Mike
P.S. Please pass on to friends of yours that might be a good fit!
