Michael Tilden Joins Exponents as Quality Assurance & Logistics Manager

Exponents, Inc., a leading component-based custom trade show exhibit design and manufacturing company, has added Michael Tilden to head its quality assurance team as of April 30, 2008.

Tilden is a seasoned management and operations professional having held a variety of leadership positions in quality assurance management over the past 28 years.

Tilden, formerly of Phoenix, Arizona, will head up all aspects of quality assurance and logistics for Exponents. His responsibilities will range from the re-development of internal systems to re-design of Exponents’ warehouse, set-up and preview areas to better accommodate Exponents’ new products. He will lead a team of twelve to make certain that Exponents’ breakthrough products are supported by proven systems and methods, enabling the company to consistently exceed client expectations.

According to Bruce Backer, Exponents’ founder and CEO, “With the introduction of Luminents™ and now LUMITURE™ Illuminated Architecture, we have dramatically enlarged the scale of our exhibit designs and are now producing larger, more elaborate projects than ever. These dramatic new products demanded the development of efficient new logistical systems. Michael Tilden was just the guy to help make them happen.”

Steve Rossman, Exponents’ executive vice president, adds, “We believe Michael’s operations management experience will be a true asset to Exponents and welcome him aboard during this period of rapid growth”.
