"John McGrath has led us through major changes in accounting and compliance rules over the past eight years, including implementation of controls and procedures required under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act," said C. Nicholas Keating, Jr., President and CEO. "His finance strategy for NET has allowed us to maintain a balance sheet that serves as a firm foundation for our business."
"Now that NET has implemented a new ERP system, reduced its expense structure and completed the integration with Quintum Technologies, it is an appropriate time for me to leave the company," said McGrath. "I believe that NET is now well-positioned for success in the market for IP-based networking products, including solutions for unified communications."
David Wagenseller, vice president and controller, will be the company's acting CFO, and Deborah Nelson, vice president of finance, will continue in her role.
