>> The Team

One of the unique strengths that the Beaufort management team possesses is the strong and lasting relationships we have already established with many of our key customers and suppliers. The Beaufort management team, with its extensive experience in the technology and digital photographic industry, comprises:

Todd Hiscock - Chief Executive Officer

Todd joined Telepix Imaging (former digital research and development and product innovation arm of international giant Gretag Imaging) as the Vice President of Sales in October 2000. In November 2001 he was asked to assume the role of the company's CEO becoming a member of the Gretag Executive Management Team (as VP of Digital Imaging Solutions worldwide). As CEO of Telepix, Todd produced and maintained the first profits in the company's history. In the wake of Gretag's turbulent demise, one of the biggest shakeups in photo industry history, Todd led his highly skilled cross-functional team on to emerge successfully as Beaufort Solutions.

Todd also brings extensive experience in developing and fostering customer executive relationships and information technology (IT) corporate strategies. Prior to joining Telepix Imaging, Todd was strongly recognized for his many achievements with IBM's Marketing and Sales organizations including the IBM Canada Marketing Excellence Award. Currently, Todd is the chairman of the Newfoundland and Labrador Association of Technology Industries (NATI), he sits on the board of St. Bonaventure's College and is the Chairman of the St. Bon's Forum Corporation.

Sam Mesbah - Chief Technology Officer

Sam began working with Telepix Imaging as a consultant in 1998, developing new kiosk software and composite layout applications. He joined the company as a full time employee in November of 1999 and has since been the central architect of many kiosk software platforms and customer integration projects. Sam has previously held key technical positions at Xerox, NORDCO, Ontario Hydro and IBM. Sam is widely recognized as a global leader in imaging technology and holds a Masters Degree in Electrical Engineering.
