Protel appoints CEO of newly acquired TASKING group
Protel International Limited is pleased to announce the appointment of Scott Taitel to the position of Chief Executive Officer of the newly acquired TASKING group, a world wide leader in the development of embedded software tools.
Mr Taitel will be based in TASKING's US Headquarters at Dedham, Massachusetts. During the initial transition period he will be working closely with Protel International's senior executive team to orchestrate the seamless integration of the two businesses.
