"Peter is the right person to lead Northwest Analytics, given his strong command of the business and proven ability to drive results and win against larger competitors," said the board's chairman Cliff Yee. "Northwest Analytics is incredibly well positioned to continue to capture market share, innovate analytics solutions that uniquely enable our customers' success, and deliver sustainable revenue growth."
Guilfoyle stated, "With the gains to be made in manufacturing by embracing Industry 4.0 and digital transformation, Northwest Analytics and the NWA Focus EMI® platform are uniquely positioned to not only provide the foundation for those programs, but also enable their scale across the enterprise. We are excited to be a key to our customers' long-term health and success."
