Mr. Riland originally came to DISC to head the marketing and business development programs in March 2000. His previous experience with Maxoptix Corporation and U-tron Technologies, in which both companies experienced 60% annual revenues and growth under his leadership, is a testament to the caliber of talent present on the DISC executive team today.
