Boxlight Corporation (NASDAQ: BOXL), a leading provider of
interactive technology solutions for the global education market,
is pleased to announce the appointment of R. Wayne Jackson and
Charles Amos as independent members of its board of directors.
From July 2015 to December 2019, Wayne Jackson served as the
Chief Financial Officer of Secureworks Corp. Before joining
Secureworks Corp., from May 2003 until June 2015, Mr. Jackson was a
partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP, an independent registered
public accounting firm (“PwC”). At PwC, Mr. Jackson was the lead
engagement partner for a number of the firm’s largest public
company clients before leaving the firm in June 2015. In addition,
he served as the global leader of PwC’s Entertainment and Media
Group from June 2004 through June 2007. Mr. Jackson also served at
PwC in a variety of roles between July 1979 and January 2000,
including as partner in its Entertainment, Media and Communications
group from 1991 through 1999. From January 2000 to October 2002,
Mr. Jackson was Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice President
of Concert Communications Services (“Concert”), a global joint
venture created by AT&T Inc. and British Telecommunications
plc, two global telecommunications companies. In his role as Chief
Financial Officer of Concert, Mr. Jackson was responsible for all
finance, treasury, budget, planning and forecast functions for the
company. Mr. Jackson is a certified public accountant, and his
experiences as a CFO and partner at PwC qualify him as a financial
expert.
Charles P. Amos is a 30-year veteran of the education market and
has served in a number of leadership and board positions during
that time. Most recently Mr. Amos served as the CEO of GuideK12, a
K-12 education focused data analytics company from June 2012 to
February of 2020. GuideK12 was acquired by Forecast 5 where Mr.
Amos now serves as Senior Managing Director ensuring a smooth
transition for the acquisition. He also has been CEO of The Amos
Group since August of 2007. Prior to 2008, Mr. Amos served as the
CEO and Chairman of Atomic Learning (now Hoonuit), as well as
serving in sales leadership positions at Apple and EdTech, LLC. Mr.
Amos received a B.S. in Business with an emphasis on finance. Mr.
Amos’ 30 years of experience in the US and international K-12
market and his long track record as a successful entrepreneur make
him ideally suited to serve as a valued member of our board of
directors.
“On behalf of Boxlight and the board of directors, I am pleased
to welcome both Wayne and Charles to the board,” stated Boxlight
Chairman and CEO Michael Pope. “Both individuals bring tremendous
experience and I welcome their outside perspective and governance
as we navigate our next chapter as a company.”
