Wavefront has proposed the initial composition of its board to oversee the global commercialization of Wavefront's biometric technology. It is proposed that these experienced and well respected directors will transition across to and form the Board of the Company following completion of the Acquisition.Under the proposed restructure Dr. Shanny Dyer will be Managing Director. Dr Dyer has a strong history of technology commercialisation and managing early stage companies, including past roles as Corporate General Manager at CSIRO, Deputy Head of Clinical Genomics at the Garvan Institute for Medical Research and Head of Commercialisation, University of Technology, Sydney.
Mr Anthony Bertini, who is a founding director of Wavefront, will be Chairman. Mr Bertini is an experienced executive team member with a specific focus on technology and innovation. He is a Director of the Australian Copyright Agency and Co-founder and Chairman of Organic Technology Holdings and Australian Omega Oils.Two new directors, Mr Leigh Clapham and Mr Steven Ezzes, will join Mr Bertini and Dr Dyer on the board.

Wavefront's proposed new Chairman, Anthony Bertini said, "this is a very strong, handpicked team that will work with and assist Shanny in the commercialization of the technology Wavefront has developed to date and continues to innovate."
"The new board will be able to finesse and amplify Wavefront's strategic direction and entry into new markets particularly in the US and build strong customer relationships with major enterprises in the global defence, banking and financial services industries."
