Cliff Emmons, CEO of Oxys, stated, “We are excited to have Bob join our team to help us drive sales & marketing efforts that will fuel the growth of this critical business segment for Oxys. In the short time Bob has been working with our COO, Karen McNemar, and myself, he has made a positive impact.
