“I joined the Leonovus team because of their ‘futur of storage’ vision. The Leonovus 3.0 blockchain-hardened ultra-secure method of distributed storage for the enterprise customer is unique in the industry. Large enterprises need the Leonovus 3.0 solution with its ROI, ultra-secure data and a powerful compliance engine,” said Hundal.

Peter’s expertise and contacts at the ‘C-Suite’ level across Canada and the USA will help us accelerate new customer acquisition. Over the next three weeks, we have a sales and engineering team demonstrating our technology and the benefits of Leonovus 3.0 to large fortune 1,000 firms from the mid-west to Florida. I am very pleased, only one month after the close of our financing, that we were able to activate significant initial sales activity across the USA. We look forward to Peter’s contribution to helping us market and solve technical problems for all these large customer prospects,” said Michael Gaffney, CEO.
