“Bonnie is a strategic hire for our Company,” said Spectra7 CEO Raouf Halim. “Her operational experience will be invaluable during Spectra7’s next growth phase in the massive data center market. She knows how to manage all financial disciplines through rapid growth and has proven herself adept at creating tremendous shareholder value.

Dave Mier is retiring from the Company after serving as interim CFO since July 2020 and previously as CFO from 2015 to 2017. “Dave has been critical in our recent equity raise and successful listing on the OTCQB,” said Mr. Halim. “These and his many other contributions to the Company are greatly appreciated. We are extremely thankful for his willingness to help during this transition period.”
“I want to also thank Jerry Hamilton for his leadership and contribution to Spectra7 as Senior Vice President of Sales,” said Mr. Halim. “He has been instrumental in building our strong sales channel in Asia. We wish him the very best for the future.”
