San Diego-based ecoATM, a provider of electronics recycling kiosks, today announced the appointment of Tom Tullie as its chairman, president and CEO. EcoATM last week won the $10,000 grand prize in Coinstar Inc.'s "Big Idea" contest at the KioskCom Self Service Expo in New York.
According to a news release from ecoATM, current CEO and founder Mark Bowles will transition to the position of chief marketing officer, where he will be responsible for strategy, innovation and business development.
Bowles says the addition of Tullie to ecoATM's team will help the company expand its start-up concept:
Anyone who has worked with Tom Tullie, as I have in the past, understands the intense focus and leadership he brings to an organization. We are delighted he has agreed to take the helm as we ramp into the next phase.
According to ecoATM, Tullie was CEO of Vativ Technologies, a provider of advanced communications technology before joining the company. Prior to working with Vativ, Tullie was with Path 1 Network Technologies, a provider of IP video-transport products to broadcasters, satellite operators, cable multisystem operators (MSOs), and telecom operators.
