Nobi’s newest team members, Marc McGrann, Erich Klett and Pat Finley, bring decades of experience developing products, building relationships and driving growth, and first-hand knowledge of how technology can enhance the quality of life for older adults.
“As we continue to expand our presence in the U.S., we’re excited to welcome Marc, Erich and Pat to the Nobi family,” said Roeland Pelgrims, co-founder and CEO at Nobi. “Each of them shares our passion for improving the lives of older adults and brings valuable experience, expertise and perspective to drive Nobi’s continued growth and expansion in the U.S.”

The Nobi lamp will be marketed to all levels within the continuing care environment, nursing homes, hospitals and, eventually, directly to consumers.
