"When bringing on a business partner and CEO, I have learned from experience just how critical it is to find someone with the skills your company needs and a leader that will fit well within your culture," said Davis. "Tom epitomizes our culture of creativity, quality and service in addition to bringing the executive and business development expertise to lead Imagecraft Exhibits toward achieving our growth goals."
