Pettitt's deep technical experience and successful
entrepreneurial track record adds new perspective to the Board and
the Personal Emergency Response Systems (PERS) category.
LOUISVILLE, Ky., March 17,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- LogicMark, Inc. (NASDAQ:
LGMK), provider of PERS health communications devices and IoT
technology for the care economy, today announces the appointment of
John Pettitt to the company's Board
of Directors. Pettitt brings nearly 40 years of experience in
e-commerce, and content distribution and protection to
LogicMark. He has been granted multiple foundational
technology patents, established the first commercial non-academic
Internet connection in the U.K., and has had four successful
founder exits.
John's deep experience in multiple
technology domains will provide invaluable insights as we
grow
Two of his companies, Beyond and CyberSource, had successful
IPOs. During his time at CyberSource, Pettitt focused on building
out an early credit card fraud detection system. While at Beyond,
he built from scratch an e-commerce system and one of the first
Internet app stores.
Specialix, where Pettitt worked on communications and networking
hardware, was acquired by Pearl Systems. Pettitt's last start up,
Relay Media, where he served as CTO and Co-founder, developed a
real-time Accelerated Mobile Pages translation program to service
more than 100 million pages a month for publishers. Relay Media was
purchased by Google in 2017. Today Pettitt serves as technical
leader for a large, multi-product team at Google.
"John's deep experience in multiple technology domains –
Internet, mobile technologies, patents, and ecommerce – will
provide invaluable insight to the LogicMark management team as we
seek to grow our company and evolve our products," said
Chia-Lin Simmons, LogicMark's Chief
Executive Officer. "With his success as a co-founder and
entrepreneur – taking two companies public on NASDAQ and selling
two successful technology companies – we believe that he will bring
a fresh, entrepreneurial perspective to the table and the
industry."
"Many seniors in the U.S. today are living in isolation with
substandard and hard-to-use technological solutions," said Pettitt.
"LogicMark's history of using technology to make assistance
affordable and available is a mission I hope to build upon. I want
to help LogicMark build out the Care Economy technology platform
and make sure people get the appropriate care they need, based on
their stage of life."
