Ithaca, New York—The CBORD Group, Inc., the leading provider of one-card, food and nutrition management, and integrated security systems to colleges, universities, and healthcare facilities, is pleased to announce the appointment of Max Steinhardt as CBORD’s Chief Operating Officer (COO).

Since 2006, Steinhardt has served as CBORD’s Senior Vice President of Operations, implementing numerous operational improvements at CBORD^®.

He also served as Vice President of Sales at TMS Sequoia, a small public software company with products used as a core component in document-imaging systems and character-recognition systems, and as General Manager at Adaptec, where Steinhardt sold data-storage peripherals to industry leaders such as HP, IBM, and Dell.

“CBORD users expect the best in sales, service, implementation, and products; that’s why they select CBORD as their partner. We are known for our ability to help customers increase revenues, reduce costs, and improve safety and security.
