"George's vision and leadership are vital to growing the alonovo community. The Board entrusts George with the implementation of technology to drive wider adoption, and ultimately change the way online commerce is done," said Suzanne Stenson O'Brien, presiding director of alonovo's Advisory Board.

Mr. Polisner was the original architect of the alonovo.com concept. He has over 25 years experience in the technology sector and has driven product innovation at Oracle Corporation, Dell, Inc. and other leading technology companies.

George Polisner stated "It is exciting to be leading the alonovo venture once again.
