Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief
Separate from the recent shenanigans that saw Comark Interactive Solutions get rid of their President and CEO Steve Schott to be replaced on an interim basis by Comark LLC CEO, Greg Baletsa, we can confirm that Brad Gleeson has just joined Comark Interactive Solutions as Chief Commercial Officer.
In a phone call with us yesterday, Brad told us that he is responsible for sales, business development, PR and marketing.
Comark is based in Milford, MA but has just setup a small office in New York City specifically for Comark Interactive Solutions.
