Wiser replaces John Soumbasakis who was appointed in April to senior vice president and

“Brian has a proven track record of driving profitable
revenue growth, increasing market share, delivering innovative programs and
services, and expanding strategic relationships with our
partners,” said Bradley. “We are confident he will bring the same
results-focused approach to our Specialty Solutions Division as we seek to hit
aggressive targets and further diversify our business into higher-margin,
higher-value growth areas.”
