ISWest Announces Bobby Bowers, New Controller

ISWest, a major provider of business internet services to southern California companies, announces that Bobby Bowers has assumed the duties of Controller. His responsibilities encompass all areas of the company's financial management, corporate budget, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and human resources.

"We are thrilled to have someone with Bobby's expertise join ISWest," says Drew Kaplan, CEO/CFO of the company. "Our growth in the last ten years has been nothing short of phenomenal. It has made us realize that ISWest needs someone with Bobby's background to join our core management team. With Bobby concentrating on ISWest's financial health, I can take off some of the hats that I have been wearing and more intensely focus our future growth and success."

Coming from a large corporate environment, Bobby found the entrepreneurial spirit of ISWest particularly intriguing. "That was a major draw for me," says Bowers. "Both the company's success and growth, especially over the past four years, as well as its business philosophy, were important factors in my decision to accept this position. As we move to the next level, I'll be responsible for initiating a more traditional budget process. I'll be revising cash management and accounts payable, assuring a more efficient cash flow, which is the bottom line for any company."

Bobby joins the ISWest team from Bowtie Inc. in Los Angeles, where he served as Assistant Controller. Previously, Bobby was Controller/CFO at Go Rhino Products/Xtreme Metal Fab, Inc. in Brea. He holds an MBA from Syracuse University and a BS in Business Administration from Western Kentucky University. Bobby served in the United States Army from 1977-1997, retiring with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.
