“After thoughtful consideration, the Board of Directors determined that the company’s CEO needs to be based in our Eagan, Minnesota facility,” explained Erin S. Enright, chairman of the Board of Directors. “Dr. von Jako, who resides in the Boston area, determined that he and his family were not in a position to relocate at this time and he made the decision to pursue other opportunities. On behalf of the Board of Directors, I thank Dr. von Jako for his dedicated service and meaningful contributions to the company.”
“I have had the pleasure of working with Brian for many years and have witnessed firsthand his ability to effectively lead an organization and drive meaningful change,” continued Ms. Enright. “He brings decades of proven leadership experience, most recently in key operational roles at Dynatronics.
