Meridian Kiosks recently announced the appointment of Nick Van Wyk as the company's new chief executive officer. Van Wyk will be responsible for driving Meridian to the next phase of its development and integrating the recent acquisition of King Products and Solutions, according to the company release.
Van Wyk has an extensive background in technology, the company says, most recently as a senior executive responsible for global operations at Red Hat.
"We'd be hard pressed to find a better fit for Meridian than Nick," company founder and former CEO Chris Gilder said in the release. "His vast experience in creating channels and business operations will help take us to the next level. From the moment we gave him a tour of our facilities, it was clear that he understood the vision and the opportunity."
In an economy that is slow to recover from the recession, Meridian is growing, the company says.
"Companies are looking for a new way to empower their customers and employees. Self-service offers the ability to expand services to meet the increasing demands whilst improving quality," Van Wyk said in the relase. "This interlink between people and technology is a rapidly growing space. To address this burgeoning market, we are collaborating and partnering with industry leaders as well as strengthening our operations."
