"I am honored to succeed Andrew as Chairman of Emerge," said Mr. Holmes. "Emerge is the third successful company Andrew has founded (GlobalTranz, 10-4 Systems and Emerge). It's that track record and the product offering that makes me incredibly excited to help guide us to success moving forward."
Andrew's title moving forward will be Founder and he will continue to focus on product vision, strategy, capital raising, and investor relations.
