our management team,” said Phil Brooks, CEO of TuringSMI. “His experience

and relationships in the sector are second to none. In the coming months

Burt will play an instrumental role by helping us strengthen and execute

worldwide. I feel confident that Burt’s vision will play a fundamental role

management positions at BMC, where he developed and maintained a global

sales program for customers in the mid-west and Canada. Prior to joining

BMC, Burt held a senior sales position at Quality Assured Label, Inc.,

where he managed sales in excess of $30 million, including global accounts

such as the Gillette, Unilever and Procter & Gamble.

Burt will work closely with Rob Chippendale, TuringSMI’s worldwide sales

support level. There’s a lot of room for opportunity here, as the BSM

market and TuringSMI’s potential for growth are both thriving,” said Burt.

“The company has a notorious reputation for delivering the finest and

latest BSM offerings to its customers. And with the recent acquisitions of

EMS and generationE, I’m confident we will continue to become a more
