Kurt’s impact on MGIS will resonate for years to come, and we remain deeply appreciative of his dedication and contributions,” says Jeff Brunken, President of MGIS. “Similarly, we are enthusiastic about the energy and expertise that Jim brings to our team. Together, we are poised to achieve new heights.”
