As founder of Centra and Chairman of the Board, he is intimately familiar with the Company’s customers, markets, products and management. It would be hard to imagine someone more qualified to lead Centra. The Board greatly appreciates Paul Gudonis’ contributions to the Company and we wish him the best.”
