"On the heels of Telefonix's official launch of its Summit line of IFEC system components at this year's Aircraft Interiors Expo, we could not be more excited to have Alan on board," says Michael Kuehn, Telefonix President.

He will not only be responsible for driving and managing Telefonix's continued growth in the domestic aerospace market, but will also expand the company's representation outside of North America.

Alan will be attending the Airline Passenger Experience Expo (APEX) with the Telefonix team this September in Portland. We hope that everyone will stop by to welcome Alan to the Telefonix team!
