We want to continue to provide them with the best possible services so that they trust us implicitly – our ultimate goal is to become their trusted advisor.”
As he enters the Vice President position Klingel looks into the near future and highlights his plans to build a sustained relationship with the SHINE Systems team including both employees and customers.
