SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Board of Directors of Inseego Corp. (NASD: INSG) today announced that effective on the date following the 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the size of the Board will be increased to six directors and Jeffrey M. Tuder will be appointed as an independent director of the company. Assuming the Annual Meeting takes place on June 14 as scheduled, Mr. Tuder’s appointment will become effective on June 15, 2017. Mr. Tuder is a veteran private equity and public securities investor with over 20 years’ investment experience, having worked closely with executive management teams and board members of both public and private companies to define and achieve strategic objectives and to protect and enhance shareholder value.

“I look forward to joining Inseego's Board to assist the Company in streamlining its operating structure and realizing the full value of its unique portfolio of assets. In my view, these assets contain a tremendous amount of value and optionality that is being underappreciated by investors. In particular, Inseego's Ctrack brand continues to have leading positions in a number of valuable and growing end markets that should serve as a platform for future growth and substantial value creation,” said Mr. Tuder.
“The Inseego Board and management team welcomes Jeff to our Board. His extensive investment and restructuring experience and industry knowledge will be invaluable to us as we effect the change necessary to establish the Company as a leading SaaS and solutions provider for the Internet of Things,” added Bob Pons, lead independent director of Inseego.
