According to Joe F. Martinez, Impart's Chairman & CEO, "Jim brings a wealth of major retailing management experience and industry success that is already contributing to new product concepts and client projects for Impart. The retailing space is evolving rapidly -- as the next wave of interactive, in-store digital signage will complement the shifts in consumer habits -- requiring the convenience and intimacy of search for product information and the means to complete the transaction without the pressure (and expense) of in-store sale personnel.
Mr. Martinez continued, "The convergence of technology, media, and packaging requires levels of expertise from within these interdependent disciplines. Additionally, the expanding global market requires experienced executives that respect the varying cultures and possess the management skill sets in successfully conducting business around the world. Mr. Haworth represents the first of other high profile executives that will be joining our new Strategic Advisory Board, as we accelerate our domestic market successes in North America and continue our aggressive expansion into international markets, such as China, United Kingdom, and Mexico. We are privileged to have Jim advising and impacting our business development strategies, with his strong retailing and insider perspective. When you want the best, you go out and find the best... which is exactly what we did."
