“Tron has been a significant contributor to our company’s success in the five years since launch,” commented Marty Battaglia, EBC’s Chief Executive Officer. “He has represented us extremely well in the marketplace as a senior business development officer and has proven over the past year that he’s a gifted manager and leader, so this promotion represents a logical next step in Tron’s career progression.”

Rob has helped me to hire a top-notch direct sales force and implement the appropriate technology tools and processes to maximize the productivity of our business development efforts. This is an opportune time for Rob to hand over the reins so that Tron can help drive EBC’s next stage of growth through his direct experience and leadership of our sales and marketing organization.”
