During the first quarter Diversinet delivered 100,000 Wallet/Vault tokens to BCNEPA.
- Diversinet introduced its Provisioning Server for RSA SecurID®, a fast, easy and secure way for enterprises to deploy cost-effective RSA SecurID software authenticators. RSA, the Security Division of EMC, teamed with Diversinet to deliver the provisioning server to its enterprise customers worldwide, expanding the strategic partnership between the two companies.
- In April, Diversinet appointed Albert Wahbe, currently chairman of the board, to the role of chief executive officer with responsibility for the company’s strategic direction as it transitions from a product development organization to a sales and marketing enterprise.
- Diversinet also appointed Philippe Tardif and Greg Milavsky to the Board of Directors. Mr. Tardif, a partner at Borden Ladner Gervais LLP and a leading securities and capital markets lawyer, brings to Diversinet considerable experience in corporate governance matters, and has a unique perspective on the needs of helping companies transition towards sales and marketing enterprises. Gregory Milavsky joins the Diversinet board in his role as senior managing director and founder of Canterbury Park Capital L.P., a private equity firm based in Toronto, Canada. Prior to this position, he served as managing director and group head for Scotiabank Private Equity Investments, a firm specializing in private equity investing and venture capital.
CEO and Chairman of Diversinet Albert Wahbe stated “We are pleased to report a quarter of improved revenue and reduced losses, reflecting our ongoing transition from a product development company to a sales and marketing enterprise.
