DTZ stated that Gideon will be on a fixed remuneration of $28,250 per month.

Gideon was previously CEO of AI computer vision company Cipia, and aerospace digital eCommerce platform ePlane.

He is said to have a strong background in sales and Bernie Brookes believes Gideon will ramp-up the company’s commercialisation efforts across the diagnostics, authentication and surface sanitisation solutions.

The other appointment is Kerry Harpaz, who joins the board as non-executive Director.

She is said to have a history of investing and supporting start-up businesses with more than 17 years’ experience in senior management and leadership roles specialising in building large teams.
