DeVincenzi takes the reins from Bernard Bailey, the chairman of the board of directors, who has served as interim CEO since the end of March. Bailey will maintain his position on the board of directors and will continue to play a vital role in the company.
“We are very excited to be able to bring a CEO onboard with Bob’s breadth of experience. His combination of operational leadership and sales experience provides LaserCard with the insights and experience that the company needs to execute on our growth plans,” Bailey said. “Bob has developed and implemented strategic growth plans and built companies from the ground up. As the market for secure identity cards and solutions continues to grow globally, Bob has the experience and track record to ensure that LaserCard takes full advantage of the opportunities in this exciting marketplace.”

LaserCard’s success in North America, the EU, Africa, and in the Middle East makes it a true global provider of secure identity products and solutions. I look forward to building on this record of success.”
