Our current clients in industries such as healthcare, high-technology, commercial, education and parking, will benefit from direct access to our expanding San Jose-based team as we continue to grow our presence here. We look forward to Nick's leadership in helping us gain an even stronger foothold in one of the most exciting regions in the country.”
