2020 Growth, led by Wearable Universal Contact Tracing, is powering sales of its core Smart Facilities Solutions
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 13, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Microshare announced an expansion of its executive leadership team, building on 2020’s record revenue growth and global expansion.
“Providing our solutions at scale and in all geographies has been a strategic goal from day one at Microshare,” says Microshare CEO Ron Rock. “With our IoT data solutions now deployed on five continents and our revenue growing robustly, the addition of these four world class talents is perfectly timed to take Microshare to the next level.”
Microshare ended 2020 with tremendous growth, driven in part by its innovative Universal Contact Tracing (UCT) solution, which is now deployed in factories, offices and other facilities around the world for such clients as Glaxo-SmithKline and Rent-A-Center. Because all of Microshare’s Smart Facilities solutions run on the LoRaWan Network optimized for Microsoft’s Azure IoT, many new clients have chosen to add additional capabilities like Indoor Air Quality Monitoring, Asset Zoning, Predictive Cleaning and Occupancy Monitoring on top of Microshare’s innovative pandemic-related solutions.
“This new talent will help us scale, position us for continued international market success and prepare Microshare for B Round financing in 2021,” says Charles Paumelle, Managing Director for UK and EMEA. “Each of my new colleagues has experience in managing the challenges of moving early stage companies to maturity and excelling at the global level.”
Joining as of January are Phil Adams as Executive Vice President of Strategic Operations; Lauren Miller as Chief Financial Officer; Nadine North as Chief People & Wellness Officer, and Michael Moran as Chief Marketing Officer and Director of Risk & Sustainability.

- Nadine North, Chief People and Wellness Officer, will lead efforts to attract talent and, in her Wellness role, help shape Microshare’s focus on healthy work environments enabled by data.
