Also, as Chief Transformation Officer over the past year, he has led a number of significant programs to help improve overall operating efficiency.

"Dave has built a strong foundation for our financial operations and has been crucial to Sierra Wireless’ growth and overall success these past 16 years," said Sierra Wireless President and CEO, Kent Thexton. “He is a strong leader who understands our business, clients and communities.”
