Harris Kenny joined the company in January 2014. He started as Communications Manager, moved to Marketing Manager, then Vice President of Marketing before becoming President. Prior to joining the company, he worked in management and ERP consulting. He earned a MBA from the University of Denver Daniels College of Business and a BA in Economics from Pepperdine University.

COO Steven Abadie said. “We will further integrate our manufacturing and supply chain operations into a world-class Free Software Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) through collaboration with the Odoo Community Association (OCA).”
