He also has led multiple companies through venture capital raises, acquisitions and mergers including the sale of ALK to Trimble.

“I am incredibly excited and honored to join the Board of Directors of Rand McNally,” Glick said. “I have long admired Rand from my early years in digital mapping through more recent years in location-based services serving the freight transportation market.

“The Rand McNally name is unequaled in the industry and I am thrilled to assist TELEO Capital in achieving its ambitious vision for an even more successful future for the company.”
