“I first met Judy through her thorough due diligence process of Beam Global as she considered investing in us,” said Desmond Wheatley, CEO of Beam Global. “The questions she asked then, and advice she has continued to give as a shareholder, made it immediately clear that she has a superior grasp of the challenges and opportunities inherent in rapidly growing an early stage publicly traded company. An independent shareholder point of view is a great asset to have on any board. Her banking, IR and audit relationships are deep and broad and her personal experiences on boards and as CFO of both public and private growth companies make her a valuable asset to Beam Global. She understands the capital markets and is a technologist who appreciates the innovation and value inherent in our expanding cleantech portfolio. I’m delighted she has agreed to join our board and to chair our audit committee and I very much look forward to working with her.”
