With his extensive background in complex integrated systems, John’s impressive knowledge and expertise bring a unique insight into this challenging field.

“We could not be more excited to welcome John to the Furuno family,” said Matt Wood, National Sales Manager for Furuno USA. “With his background in complex systems integration and decades of experience aboard hundreds of vessels, John is a perfect fit for Furuno. We look forward to many years of working together to advance Furuno’s position in the market.”
