"I was looking for a top tier technology officer that could help our company's product offering grow rapidly in the U.S. and scale us faster overseas," says Ron Hicks, President and CEO of HerdX. With food traceability and tracking as a high priority for HerdX, Ron sees Austin as the ideal next step in the company's growth coming in at just the right time.
