/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION IN THE UNITED STATES OR THROUGH UNITED STATES WIRE SERVICES/
TORONTO, Jan. 6, 2014 /CNW/ - Biosign Technologies Inc. (TSXV: BIO) ("Biosign" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Mario Laflamme, CA, CPA as Chief Financial Officer, to replace Mr. William Randolph (Randy) Polley, CA who will remain with the Company as a senior business development executive.
Mr. Laflamme will oversee Biosign's finance and accounting functions, utilizing extensive financial management and corporate development experience gained through working with rapidly growing firms in the technology sector in both the United States and Canada. He most recently served as CFO for LED Roadway Lighting, a Halifax, Nova Scotia based outdoor lighting technology company; as Managing Director of Mass Tech Partners, a Massachusetts based business and financial management firm; and as President & CFO of Univisions Crimson Group, a corporate Audio/Video services firm formed by the merger of Univisions and Crimson Tech, and sold to York Telecom. Notably, Mr. Laflamme was Vice President, Finance and Vice President, Operations for The Learning Company, (formerly SoftKey Software), a Canadian company that grew through acquisitions to over $800 million in revenue and was later acquired by Mattel Inc.
The Company wishes to thank Mr. Polley for his service as CFO. He has helped guide Biosign through our intense restructuring period, and his dedication, skill and professionalism are greatly appreciated. We are pleased that he has agreed to continue working with us as a key executive in the areas of business development and sales.
Biosign's CEO Mr. Robert Kaul stated, "We are very pleased to welcome Mr. Laflamme to Biosign as our new CFO. He brings us specific experience working with fast growing companies in both Canada and the United States, which we will need as we move forward with our previously articulated plan to grow by acquisition in 2014 and beyond. Furthermore, as Biosign increasingly commits to doing business in Atlantic Canada, Mr. Laflamme's location in Halifax will be a benefit as we engage more deeply with government and industry stakeholders in that region."
