Global Convergence, Inc. (GCI) Assembles Renowned Industry Influencers for its New Advisory Board


OLDSMAR, Fla., May 02, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Global Convergence, Inc. (GCI), a global Managed IT Lifecycle services and solutions company, today announced that it has added three highly distinguished influencers from the Managed IT Services and Technology industry to its advisory board.

First, GCI would like to introduce and welcome new Board Member, Mr. Kevin Horner.  With over two decades in the C-suite, first as CIO of Alcoa, a Fortune 50 company, and most recently as President and CEO of a publicly traded IT staffing business, Mr. Horner’s sharp ability to evaluate complex business scenarios and quickly convert insights into bold directives that drive positive customer outcomes aligns perfectly with GCI’s Mission and Vision.  A distinguished, strategic thought leader who is willing to take smart risks to dramatically change the playing field, Kevin brings a broad field of vision across functions including manufacturing, sales, finance, HR, and Marketing, along with his exceptional credentials in IT.

Next, local to the Tampa Bay area (GCI’s US HQ location) and well-recognized for his Managed Services expertise, GCI welcomes Mr. John Koehler to its Advisory Board.  Mr. Koehler’s achievements supporting customers and integrators for over 25 years prove him to be a visionary and a gifted entrepreneur who has led multiple technology services companies.  John was the founder, President and CEO of Vital Networks.  John was also the co-founder, President and CEO of TechForce Corporation, which filed for public offering with the SEC and began trading on the NASDAQ Stock Exchange in late 1995.  At the time of its acquisition in 1999, it had revenues exceeding $90 million.  John has also held executive positions at Syncordia, a wholly owned subsidiary of British Telecom (BT), Paradyne Corporation/AT≈T Paradyne and IBM.



Finally, GCI would like to introduce and welcome new Board Member, Mr. Daniel Zelem, a respected healthcare technology executive with a proven track record of innovation, delivering exceptional results and transforming technology on a global scale.

Dan served with Johnson & Johnson for more than five years, as Chief Technology Officer and as top executive of the global technology leadership team, where he was instrumental in leading many large-scale breakthrough technology initiatives, including delivering on one of the most ambitious and extensive technology digital transformation and migrations ever performed at a Fortune 25 corporation across US, EMEA, LATAM and APAC.


With deep expertise in operations management, architecture, infrastructure, cyber security, cloud, data and analytics, ERP, vendor and fiscal management, Mr. Zelem brings a unique and innovative perspective on infrastructure services, worldwide information security, enterprise architecture, and application development to the GCI Advisory Board.

“GCI is taking aggressive steps to become the global managed services provider of choice as evidenced by the appointment of these three highly respected, influential and customer-focused industry experts,” said Jim Bradshaw, Chairman and CEO at Global Convergence.  “Our new board members embody the 'vested model' approach, which GCI has always embraced before it was even mainstream, because we’ve understood that collaborating with our customers as a trusted advisor is the best way to create innovative solutions to complex challenges.  I am personally delighted to welcome Kevin, John and Dan to the GCI Advisory Board.”
