Palo Alto, Calif. – April 18, 2006 – Blue Vector Systems, a rapidly growing provider of easy to deploy product and asset tracking systems for RFID and other sensors, today announced John Beans as its vice president of marketing. Beans brings with him 20 years of experience in high-tech marketing. In this role, Beans reports to the CEO, and is responsible for the development of Blue Vector’s market strategy and programs.
