ways to train their employees more effectively, and profitably, at their
immediate point of need,” said Adam Stewart. ” Having been a part of the
pioneering LearnLinc team for over 5 years, I am honored to be asked to
serve in this important role of creating the finest live e-Learning solution
that truly impacts our customers performance and profitability.”

a strong force behind the success of the LearnLinc product and certainly
possesses the breadth of skills to take our live e-Learning solutions to the
next level,” said Chip Schuneman, Mentergy’s Chief Operations Officer. “His
extensive experience in customer support serves him well, because he sees
things clearly from the clients’ point of view. We’re pleased to have him
join our executive team.”
