Prior to Cisco, he held management positions at Silicon Data and Dell.
"While plenty of companies are talking about the Internet of Things, there has been very little execution to date. RIoT Solutions has a really strong focus on the Internet of Things. It's a major part of what they do, which gives them a competitive advantage no one else can match," said Reid.
