Logicalis Names New CFO, Relocates To NYC To Bolster Global Reach
Global system integrator Logicalis last week named a new U.S. CFO and relocated its U.S. headquarters to New York in a move that aims to bolster the company's reach into the lucrative metropolitan market and help it build closer ties with its major technology partners.
Logicalis, a $1.4 billion integrator that was No. 28 on CRN's 2012 Solution Provider 500 , appointed Nathan Fong as its new U.S. CFO, replacing Greg Baker, who left in September 2012 after six years with the company.
Fong's chief responsibilities for Logicalis include bridging strategy and operational day-to-day processes as well as providing executive direction and oversight of the company's U.S. finance, accounting, tax and strategic planning functions, according to the company.

Tech Start-Up iPad Guest Check In Service CheckIn Tech Is Celebrating Its ...
New York, NY (PRWEB) April 24, 2013
CheckIn Tech is the #1 on-site iPad guest check in service company in the United States. The company rents iPads loaded with state of the art guest list software, provides experienced on-site guest check in managers and staff, and gives clients unlimited customer support both before and after events. The company boasts no lines for guests attending functions where CheckIn services are used. The New York based company has only been in business for a year and half but in that time period has done over 200 events in New York City, across the country, and internationally. Leading up to their 250th event, Checkin Tech recently processed guests in London, Paris, Zurich, Berlin, Sao Paulo, Geneva, Cannes, Madrid, Copenhagen, Singapore, Tokyo, St. Stropez, and Ottawa. Upcoming international events include Istanbul, Rome and Milan. In addition, over the last year, CheckIn Tech has provided services to clients in most of the major cities in the U.S. including: Los Angeles, San Francisco, Dallas, Austin, Boston, Miami, Houston, New Orleans, Chicago, Denver, Charlotte, Salt Lake City, and Philadelphia.
Founded by CEO and event producer Steve Feder, CheckIn Tech was launched from his now completed MBA capstone project at The Zicklin School of Business. In response to the announcement of the upcoming 250th event, Mr. Feder said, “It’s incredible that an idea I had thought of during a particularly boring day in business school three years ago has grown into a full sized company servicing Fortune 100 companies, non-profits, and government entities worldwide. I think CheckIn Tech’s success is due, in part, to providing an on-site manager that insures reliability and effectiveness for our clients and their guests. In any culture, lines are counterproductive which is why event planners, conference managers, fundraisers and producers love CheckIn Tech’s services. Our goal is simple, create the perfect guest experience, which our clients appreciate.”
