Juniper Systems, a Logan-based manufacturer of rugged tablets, handheld computers, GNSS receivers, mapping software and field computing products, has announced that Brad Benson has been named president of the company.
Benson brings years of executive experience to the position from his current role as a board member of Campbell Group, the parent company of Juniper Systems.
“I’m pleased to be joining Juniper Systems and look forward to continuing our mission to bring the best rugged computing and geospatial products to mobile workers everywhere,” Benson said. “We will continue our tradition of building lasting partnerships with our business partners.”
Benson spent much of his 25-year career at Intel Corp., where he held various roles, including vice president of global software, and in operations, supply chain management, and executive development.
“Brad has been associated with Juniper Systems for a number of years, primarily in an advisory role,” said Rob Campbell, CEO of the Campbell Group. “He understands the culture and our commitment to customers. Brad has a unique ability to see the big picture and communicate it to customers and employees. He values connecting with people at an individual level, and I’m confident that Brad’s executive leadership experience will prove invaluable in building on Juniper Systems’ three decades of success.”
