(Huntsville, Alabama — April 09, 2015)
Future Designs, Inc. is proud to announce that Todd G. DeBoer has joined the company as Director of Software and Business Development. After 26 successful years in the business, FDI is combining our history and financial strength with the growth and energy levels more typical of a start-up. Todd’s addition to the management team helps fuel this trend by adding his unique perspectives along with his passion for design, engineering and successful partnerships.
Todd has been in the electronics industry over 35 years with a vast array of experience. He has dreamed up new product evaluation schemes resulting in a patent, new ways of interfacing with customers and partners, and new partnership programs resulting in highly win-win engagements. “We have worked with Todd in various roles for almost ten years and he is largely responsible for putting FDI and Renesas together so we could develop our successful Platinum Alliance Partnership based around the Renesas RDK program,” commented FDI President Kent Lowman. “I have always admired Todd’s commitment to his work and respected his ability to get things done regardless of the issues or obstacles. Todd’s addition to our already strong team will have an immediate impact for our customers and help support our growth targets of over 70% in 2015 alone.”
Todd was most recently at Renesas Electronics, a $7B per year semiconductor company where he directed the global effort for partnership development, marketing communications, eMarketing and all customer facing websites. Todd is a proven leader managing dozens of complex multi-year programs requiring cross functional teams. “I’m tremendously excited to be working with the talented team at FDI,” said Mr. DeBoer. “The company is set for massive growth with exciting new products and partner opportunities, and we’re hitting the ground running with these already.”
Todd’s charter at FDI is to instill best in class processes within our software development and marketing teams and greatly expand our standard product penetration in the traditional sales channels. Mr. Lowman commented that “Todd shares our vision and goals for the company, and has the necessary management and people skills to help us obtain the next level of service for our customers and partners.” FDI is on a mission to be the best design, production and product development partner, and is excited to make Todd an integral part of our success.
