“I look forward to carrying forth with our initiatives focusing on the talent of our employee-owners, thoughtful expansion of our geographic footprint, and exploration into new lines of business and services,” said Eric Foster, CEO.


SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB)

Swinerton is proud to announce a key leadership transition, naming Eric Foster as Chief Executive Officer and Dave Callis as President. Jeff Hoopes, Swinerton’s Chief Executive Officer since 2013, retired at the end of 2019 after 35 years with the company. This marks only the 11th CEO leadership change in the company’s 132-year history.

“As we look forward, I believe the time is right for transition, and the time is right for the strengths of our deep leadership team to shine,” Hoopes said. “Eric’s deep belief in our values, his calm demeanor, his business savvy, his exceptional understanding of our operations, and his leadership skills make him the right leader for this job.”

Since joining Swinerton in 1982 as a Project Engineer for the San Francisco Structural division after graduating from the University of California, Berkeley with a degree in Civil Engineering, Foster has progressed through several roles from Project Manager to Division Manager, and most recently as the company’s President and Chief Operations Officer. He serves on the Board of Swinerton Incorporated and The Swinerton Foundation.

“It’s an honor to be the twelfth CEO in Swinerton’s history,” said Foster. “After working alongside Jeff for over 30 years, I look forward to carrying forth with our initiatives focusing on the talent of our employee-owners, thoughtful expansion of our geographic footprint, and exploration into new lines of business and services.”

Joining Eric at the helm of Swinerton’s executive leadership team is President Dave Callis, who will continue to drive sustainable growth across the entire Swinerton family, through his innovating perspective to the management of business processes, the execution of work, and the development of strong and adaptable teams. Callis joined the Swinerton organization in 2001 as a Senior Project Manager for the Orange County division, where he steadily progressed in rank, most recently serving as Senior Vice President, Region Manager for the divisions located in Southern California and the Pacific Northwest.

Executive Vice Presidents Frank Foellmer, John Capener, and Don Adair complete Swinerton’s seasoned executive team. Swinerton has been and will remain, a 100% employee-owned company. This personal investment drives their commitment to provide peace of mind in everything they do and to those they serve.

Ethema Working on Acquisition Financing and Debt Reduction for 1st Quarter

Leave a comment


There is a high level of interest in the quality of the acquisition and the Company expects to know which group they will be working with by the end of January 2020.


WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (PRWEB)

Ethema Health Corporation (“Ethema” “GRST” or the “Company”), a provider of healthcare services, previously announced an LOI for the acquisition of a majority interest in an addiction treatment company. Efforts are underway to secure financing for the acquisition. Ethema is working with funders the Company is familiar with, having dealt with many over the last several years. There is a high level of interest in the quality of the acquisition and the Company expects to know which group they will be working with by the end of January 2020. Due diligence on the acquisition is on-going and the Company CEO will be doing site visits during the week of January 20, 2020.    

The Company has agreed to vacate its existing West Palm Beach property by January 31, 2020. The Company is continuing to negotiate with a local Florida operation to be able to move its operations but has not yet reached any agreements. As reported earlier, the Company will move its principal office to a location nearby. These processes have begun and are expected to be completed very soon.

The termination of the operation in West Palm Beach will dramatically reduce the negative cash flow of the Company and allow it to focus on cleaning up the debt on the balance sheet as it works towards completing the acquisition. As part of these efforts to reduce debt, the Company is in talks with certain lenders and shareholders of the Company, around the possible sale of the Canadian subsidiary that owns the real estate of the Company’s former operations in Canada. This could help reduce the majority of the debt in one step. The Company is looking for immediate solutions to paying off certain convertible debt, some of which has been converted to equity. The amount and extent of the equity conversions are uncertain and the Company is actively working on short-term replacement financing as a solution.

Additionally, the Company has identified other suitable acquisitions and will be able to add these once a suitable funder has been chosen.

“There is a complete restructuring underway which we expect to stabilize the Company and get it prepared to take on new initiatives in the addiction treatment business. There has been a dramatic shift from the traditional treatment models, that has been driven by the insurance carriers. The changes are still not fully effected, but there are no indications that the addiction problem is getting any better. Addiction and mental health issues are finally receiving the attention they deserve and we will continue to be leaders in providing the best possible care and treatment in the addiction treatment field”, said Shawn Leon CEO of the Company.

We were a proud sponsor of last years team, as they displayed the dedication and drive it took to become the highest ranked cycling team in America,” said Webiplex CEO, Rob Rennie. “We’re even more excited now as we increase our sponsorship as the team’s Co-Title Sponsor for the 2020 season.


IRVINE, Calif. (PRWEB)

Irvine, Ca. Webiplex, provider of DocuPeak™, a premier cloud-based business process automation and document management platform announces Co-Title sponsorship of the 2020 Elevate-Webiplex Pro Cycling Team.

Elevate-KHS Pro Cycling Team has achieved incredible results in the past three years, learning valuable lessons while growing immensely as a team. With KHS Bicycles, their program has built a solid foundation. The team is now looking forward to continuing this incredible journey by strengthening its relationship with Webiplex, as the new Co-Title Sponsor for 2020.

“We were a proud sponsor of last years team, as they displayed the dedication and drive it took to become the highest ranked cycling team in America,” said Webiplex CEO, Rob Rennie. “We’re even more excited now as we increase our sponsorship as the team’s Co-Title Sponsor for the 2020 season, and announce the new Elevate-Webiplex Pro Cycling Team name.”

KHS Bicycles is stepping back as the primary partner and title sponsor, but continues to be the official bicycle supplier and valued technical partner, providing the program with the best equipment possible.

They represent the discipline and drive towards efficiency our team embodies, with a solid focus on the team goals, which are required within our competitive sport.

NEXO Adds Flagship Amplifier to NXAMP Series of Power and Processing Solutions

Leave a comment


The new NXAMP4x4mk2 controller/amplifier is the most powerful model in NEXO’s NXAMP series of power and processing solutions.

“This is our most environmentally friendly amplifier, using specially engineered Yamaha technology to smooth-out consumption spikes, optimize mains management and maximize efficiency,” said Joseph Carcopino, NEXO’s Director of R&D.


BUENA PARK, Calif. (PRWEB)

With the new NXAMP4x4mk2 controller/amplifier, NEXO is adding a high-power flagship model to its NXAMP series of power and processing solutions.

The line of ultra-low distortion Class D amplifiers combines 32-bit/96KHz converters and 64-bit signal processing, delivering significant advances in sound quality over the highly regarded mk1 line, which has been a core component of NEXO sound systems since the NXAMP series was introduced in 2007.

NXAMP was the first result of the technological collaboration formed between NEXO and parent company Yamaha in 2005. Until then and despite its 50-year history of making amplifiers, Yamaha had not developed high-powered professional models. Since the series’ introduction, the team has continually evolved the NXAMP series’ power output, design, user interface and algorithms.

Today, the NXAMP4x4mk2 represents the most powerful amplifier in the range, delivering 3,300 watts per channel in four Ohms and 4,500 watts per channel in two Ohms. Weighing about 55 pounds in a sleek 3U package, the 4x4mk2 is smaller and delivers 12% more power than its predecessor.

The NXAMP4x4mk2 benefits from a new aesthetic and user-friendly interface. Users can set all functionality from the simplified front panel, which features just one knob and a large LCD color touchscreen. The tactile graphic display enables faster and easier navigation, providing direct access to all essential parameters.

On the back, four high-end analog inputs use cascaded converters for low output noise. Four digital inputs are available through the rear-panel expansion card slot offering optional AES/EBU, EtherSound™, Dante™ or AES67 inputs, all with automatic analog fallback and providing long-term network management flexibility if protocol preferences change. A native dual Ethernet port offers seamless integration with NEXO’s NeMo system management software.    

Users can control the amplifiers remotely and daisy-chain models through a Remote Control card fitted as standard. Additional rear-panel connectivity includes RS232 serial and general-purpose I/O ports along with Speakon outputs for each of the four channels.

The 4x4mk2 amplifier includes a new modulator chip, developed and patented by Yamaha especially for NEXO’s mk2 Series. This delivers noticeable improvements over the mk1 in terms of cleaner sonic performance and more dynamic, clear and detailed high frequencies.

A mains voltage range of 100 to 240 volts makes the amplifiers compatible with worldwide power specifications and all types of generators, ideal for touring.

Despite the difficulty in implementation of Power Factor Correction (PFC) technology on large power amps, Yamaha engineers have developed a new circuit, specifically for the 4x4mk2, to ensure maximum efficiency and smoother draw, making this the greenest of NEXO’s amplifiers to date.

The NXAMP4x4mk2 fits easily into a mixed rack with mk1 versions and NEXO’s range of DTD amplifiers, as all latencies are exactly the same. It carries a five-year warranty, and NEXO will continue to support the NXAMP4x4mk1 as a legacy product.

“This is our most environmentally friendly amplifier, using specially engineered Yamaha technology to smooth-out consumption spikes, optimize mains management and maximize efficiency,” said Joseph Carcopino, NEXO’s Director of R&D. ”It is smaller and lighter than the mk1 version and our design goal for the mk2 Series was to deliver a better interface and an improved sonic signature, which are all now a reality in new reference amplifier.”

National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA) Provides Guidance on SECURE Act

Leave a comment


[NAELA logo]

www.NAELA.org

In addition to serving as experts on how to plan with trusts under the SECURE Act, NAELA worked to obtain changes in the final bill to ensure that trusts for people with disabilities could retain ‘the stretch’


WASHINGTON (PRWEB)

The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA) recognizes the impact that the new Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement (SECURE) Act will have on estate plans, especially those that involve leaving funds to people with disabilities. The SECURE Act brings major changes to retirement tax policy, particularly the rules that limit “stretch” IRAs. The “stretch” allowed an inheritor to take money out of a retirement account over their lifetime. The SECURE Act requires most, but not all individuals, to take the money out in 10 years. Yet, many estate plans do not leave retirement accounts outright to inheritors, but in a trust for their benefit. NAELA members understand how these changes will impact trusts, including supplemental needs trusts for people with disabilities and trusts for minor children.

“In addition to serving as experts on how to plan with trusts under the SECURE Act, NAELA worked to obtain changes in the final bill to ensure that trusts for people with disabilities could retain ‘the stretch’,” said NAELA President-Elect Wendy Cappelletto, Esq., CAP.

Families should review their estate plans in light of these changes. NAELA member attorneys are well-equipped to assist with your estate planning and retirement needs. Find a NAELA member attorney in your area.

Members of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA) are attorneys who are experienced and trained in working with the legal problems of aging Americans and individuals of all ages with disabilities. Upon joining, NAELA member attorneys agree to adhere to the NAELA Aspirational Standards. Established in 1987, NAELA is a non-profit association that assists lawyers, bar organizations, and others.

Successful health care entrepreneur, Kyle Rolfing, joins Wellbeats’ Board of Directors

Kyle’s experience gives him an intimate understanding of all phases of innovation for consumer-driven health care and workplace well-being and will help Wellbeats capitalize on our business momentum as we expand our fitness brand to workplaces across the country.


ST. LOUIS PARK, Minn. (PRWEB)

Wellbeats announced today that Minnesota entrepreneur Kyle Rolfing will join the company’s Board of Directors effective immediately. Rolfing has an extensive history of innovation in health care, including co-founding Definity Health, RedBrick Health, and most recently, Bright Health – companies that revolutionized consumer-directed health care and workplace well-being.

According to Jason Von Bank, president and CEO of Wellbeats, Rolfing will contribute valuable guidance as an expert in workplace well-being, consumer-centric health care technology adoption, and startup growth.

“Virtual fitness has seen rapid adoption and we feel the industry is at a pivotal point in its growth,” said Von Bank. “Kyle’s experience gives him an intimate understanding of all phases of innovation for consumer-driven health care and workplace well-being and will help Wellbeats capitalize on our business momentum as we expand our fitness brand to workplaces across the country.”

Wellbeats is a content and software-as-a-service (SaaS) company that develops and hosts on-demand, virtual fitness content for corporate and individual users. The company currently offers more than 500 classes and 29 channels in categories like cycling, running, yoga, high-intensity-interval training, stretching, and pre-natal fitness. Wellbeats content also includes office breaks employees can complete at their workspaces, mindfulness, and content to prepare young athletes for competitive sports.

Wellbeats’ innovation in fitness aligns perfectly with Rolfing’s history as an entrepreneur. When Rolfing co-founded Definity Health in 1999, he created a unique new space in health benefits, establishing the company as a premiere brand in consumer-driven health care before selling the company to UnitedHealthcare. In 2006, Rolfing co-founded RedBrick Health, which changed the face of employer-financed health care by applying technologies that promoted broad-based consumer health engagement to improve employee health behaviors and lower costs.

Rolfing has continued this legacy of success as the co-founder and former president of Bright Health, a consumer-focused insurance and technology company. Since its launch three years ago, Bright Health has raised more than $1 billion dollars in capital and gained “unicorn” status in a competitive category.

Rolfing earned a Masters in Business Administration from the Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota and is an Aspen Institute of Health Innovators Fellow. He is a frequent speaker at national health care industry conferences and academic institutions and serves as board member and advisor to several health care startups.

“I am excited to join the Wellbeats Board of Directors and to be part of the innovative work they are doing to create fitness that fits people at all ages and stages of life,” said Rolfing. “In order to create meaningful change, you have to be driven by a passion to make life better for people, and that’s exactly what I see in the team at Wellbeats. Their on-demand, virtual fitness solution is already improving workplace fitness for employers and I look forward to being part of their future success.”
