SAN ANTONIO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tasked with spearheading strategic initiatives that will continue to grow the company, AirStrip Technologies, Inc. has added the position of Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer to its leadership team, and Bruce Brandes will assume the role, company officials announced today.

“Physicians are now telling us that they prefer to send their patients to hospitals that use AirStrip, and that it makes their practice of medicine safer.”

Brandes, who previously served as AirStrip’s Chief Sales Officer, will oversee a number of key initiatives, including major account leadership, optimizing distribution channels, forging strategic alliances, marketing and product planning, and internal operational and financial outcomes.

“Bruce is committed to advancing technology that will transform healthcare. His energy and experience are invaluable assets to AirStrip Technologies as we expand our leadership team to execute an aggressive plan for global expansion,” AirStrip CEO Alan W. Portela said.
