"We are thrilled to have Mr. Kekedjian join our advisory board," said Walter Wong, President of eMOBUS. "His financial experience and ability to manage large divisions in major enterprises will be vital in helping us meet our next set of growth targets."
"I have been impressed not only by my own evaluation of eMOBUS' technology and services, but more so by customer response," Kekedjian observed.
