Far-sighted: NexOptic welcomes Rich Geruson on board of directors

KUALA LUMPUR, March 22 (Bernama) -- Innovative optical development company, NexOptic Technology Corp (NexOptic) has appointed Richard J. Geruson to its board of directors, with immediate effect.

He has served on numerous public and private boards across three continents and holds graduate degrees from Oxford University, including a D.Phil. in economics.

Geruson’s experience spans chief executive officer (CEO) roles at Lexmark International, Phoenix Technologies and VoiceSignal Technologies. He has also served as senior vice-president and executive positions at Nokia, IBM, Toshiba and McKinsey & Co.

As CEO of Lexmark International, a multibillion-dollar imaging technology and solutions company, he grew printer sales faster than at any time in the preceding 10 years.

He had also simultaneously executed extensive process re-engineering, transforming the business from EBITDA and high debt, to positive multi-hundred-million-dollar EBITDA and a healthy debt profile.

NexOptic chairman, Darcy Daugela said the newly-appointed Geruson brought unparalleled organisational expertise and an exceptional track record of success in manufacturing, sales and global distribution.

Meanwhile, Geruson has expressed excitement at joining the board whose technology has such tremendous potential to impact many verticals in a variety of industries – from smartphone lenses to binoculars.

“I look forward to bringing my experience and expertise to bear as we move NexOptic’s sophisticated and award-winning offerings to global markets,” he said.

The company is now ready to globally launch its reimagined binoculars, the multi-award winning DoubleTake, its first consumer product engineered to disrupt the growing outdoor recreation market.

DoubleTake utilises NexOptic’s high magnification lenses for a state-of-the-art digital experience. More details at www.nexoptic.com
