In his new position, Mr. Whalen is responsible for all aspects of sales and field application engineering. Reporting to Paul White, Novazone’s president and CEO, Mr. Whalen will be located at the company’s headquarters in Livermore, California.
Mr. Whalen brings a wealth of knowledge and talent to Novazone, which stems from his background of over 20 years of sales and management leadership with fast growing companies. During this career, he held numerous senior level positions, built high performance sales teams, and consistently demonstrated strong revenue growth. Mr. Whalen is charged with managing Novazone’s ramp in sales, which is being driven by strong consumer demand for improved food safety and fewer chemicals in food and water products.
