Gene Tipps said, “I’m honored by the trust placed in me by Tarl and Alec. They are the epitome of what business leaders should be – brilliant, insightful, deeply invested in their people, and committed to creating the best products on the market. I know this new structure will allow an even greater partnership with them.”
