Michael Danziger, BLI’s CEO shared, “We’re excited to
add someone of Jon’s caliber to BLI. Changes in the industry are greatly
expanding our clients’ need for information on new products, like Solutions and
Production, as well as new approaches to the marketplace, like MPS and vertical
market focuses. At the same time, they are being asked to pursue these
challenges with fewer internal resources. Having Jon on board will allow us to
meet the needs of our clients in a manner that is both timely and of high
quality.”
