Our recent successful finance raise is enabling us to increase our sales coverage and strengthen our commercialization efforts across the country.”
 
The new sales representatives will cover Northern and Southern California (Los Angeles, San Diego, Sacramento and San Francisco), the northeast (including New York City, Long Island, upstate New York, Connecticut and New Jersey), Ohio (Cincinnati) and the Carolinas.
 
CEO and Executive Director Dr. Stephen Snowdy said, “We plan to build out our U.S. sales force to 45 sales representatives over the next 12 months, and we are off to a sprinting start with the addition of 11 new sales personnel.”
