NEW YORK - New Executive Will Help Drive Company’s Continued Aggressive Growth Strategy

Teliris, the leading provider of immersive telepresence and immersive collaboration solutions, today announced the appointment of Rick Glickman as Chief Financial Officer to strengthen and expand Teliris’ executive management team as it continues the execution of its aggressive growth strategy.

Glickman will lead the company in financial and legal affairs and brings more than 25 years of experience in expanding high-growth companies, with significant expertise in revenue growth, budgeting/forecasting, tax and audit issues as well as international management.

“We are pleased to welcome Rick to the Teliris executive management team,” said Rodney Rogers, Teliris Executive Chairman. “Rick brings a broad base of financial and legal experience to Teliris, as well as a stellar reputation within the financial community. I am confident that Rick will help drive our continued strong growth and expansion both in the US and internationally.”

“It is an exciting time to join Teliris as they continue to lead the way in introducing cutting-edge telepresence and collaboration technologies,” said Glickman. “I look forward to being a part of such an innovative and industry-leading team.”
