IAM Robotics<\/a> founder Tom Galluzzo will become the company\u2019s chief technology officer and has named current vice president, Joel Reed, as the new chief executive officer.<\/p>\n

Reed, who joined IAM Robotics<\/a> to build sales and marketing functions, will lead the company into a new phase of growth as the logistics market turns to robots that can both pick and transport inventory items to address industry worker shortages.<\/p>\n

Reed has nearly 25 years of leadership experience bringing innovative ideas and products to market. He began his career as a technology consultant at Ernst & Young (now Cap Gemini) but ultimately was drawn to an entrepreneurial track.<\/p>\n

His accomplishments include helping introduce the first mobile-based online storage solution at i-drive.com; developing and executing the commercialization plan of a 3D LIDAR data processing platform at Allpoint Systems, which was acquired by Autodesk; and establishing the market presence for a new class of autonomous AGVs (automated guided vehicles) at Seegrid, a leader of self-driving vehicles for material handling.<\/p>\n

Galluzzo will continue to lead the vision for future products at the company and will focus on advancing IAM Robotics<\/a>\u2019 world-class technologies to bring transformative solutions to market. Galluzzo explained the changes: \u201cIt\u2019s been a goal of ours to find someone that could lead the business, so I can focus on what I\u2019m best at, which is the technology. Joel is someone that I admired in the Pittsburgh business community, and he has done an excellent job establishing our market traction and putting us on an accelerated growth path.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cJoel knows what it takes to introduce advanced robots into industrial settings, and he has the integrity and commitment to be a champion for our customers, partners and employees,\u201d continues Galluzzo. \u201cI\u2019m confident having Joel lead us, and I\u2019m excited as we realize the promise of robots solving critical industry challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n

Joel Reed, CEO, IAM Robotics<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cWhen I started in the early days of autonomous material handling robots, we didn\u2019t face the labor shortages, e-Commerce expectations, and intense competition that we face today. Having fully flexible operations and innovative distribution capabilities is now a business imperative,\u201d says Reed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe talented team at IAM<\/a> took on the extremely difficult task of automating both material selection and transport and fielded a solution that gives our customers and the industry a platform for moving into the future. It\u2019s an exciting time, and I am thankful for this opportunity to work with our team, customers and industry partners.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
