executive-focus">Important changes in the Burrana Board of Directors: 25 May 2020: Burrana has recently announced important changes in its board of directors and chairman. One of the current Burrana board members, Neal Nordstrom is appointed as the new CEO of the company. The founder and CEO, David Withers will gradually transition to the role of Non-Executive Chairman and will continue to drive technology development and product positioning.
Thanking Neal for accepting the position, Mr Withers said, “It is of course with very mixed emotions that I make this announcement. For 12 years Burrana has been the single focus of my energy but it is the right time for me personally and the right time for the company to have a new CEO. I thank Neal for accepting the challenge and assure all our customers, suppliers and partners that I remain fully engaged and committed.”
Prior to Burrana, Mr Nordstrom has worked as an Operating Partner for JW Hill Capital where he focussed on helping the newly acquired businesses make the transition to fully functioning. Besides he has also extended his support as Board Member or advisor to some of the privately held, high technology companies in southern California.
Honoured to have been chosen for this role, Mr Nordstrom said, “I am inheriting from David a strong team and competitive product range. Our immediate focus is of course navigating COVID-19 and coming out of it strong and ready to compete. Our recent award by Airbus as their IFEC supplier of the year is just one indication of the capabilities of this great company.”
