Linius CEO,Chris Richardson,said that Pech would play a key role in scaling Linius' business during the next phase of its commercialization.

"Our go-to-market strategy remains consistent-- validate Linius' unique video virtualization technology with Proof-of-Concepts and direct sales,then capitalize on those successes through channel partnerships," said Richardson.
