The Board of Directors believes Dolphin has put in place an extremely strong portfolio of products and technologies under Kare's leadership which are being further strengthened through the acquisition of StarGen. Dolphin will, in the months ahead, be launching a number of interesting new products including SuperSockets, Dolphin Express and NumaChip, and now is the appropriate time to complement the company's traditional strengths in innovation and product development with strong emphasis on building out the company's sales and marketing infrastructure. The Board believes Tim brings the appropriate market experience and background to help drive this initiative and bring the company to its next phase of growth.
