Were excited to have Scott as IntriCons CFO at a such a pivotal time for the company, said Mark S. Gorder, president and chief executive officer. Today, IntriCon is growing in our four key markets of medical, hearing health, professional audio and electronics. Scott knows our business and his proven financial experience in the medical device and high-tech industries is a valuable asset as we continue to expand the company.
