FOMO CEO Commentary
Vik Grover, FOMO CEO, stated: “I am delighted to announce these two critical appointments and am confident Charlie and John will succeed in helping Purge Virus, ILED, and EIC attract new customers and drive sales, which in turn will provide value to our shareholders. COVID-19 and other pathogens are not going away and may require a lifetime of boosters and variant shots. Smart buildings with efficient LED lighting with UV disinfection and energy management are the future and in the sweet spot of the Biden Administration’s plans. I predict a change in the construction code in the United States that will at some point mandate disinfection technology deployment in major buildings/venues and government locations nationwide and state-by-state. Our owned and targeted ecosystem companies are seeing weekly increases in their sales funnels which positions FOMO’s clean tech strategy for success.”
