“2020 was a year of transition for TAAL. Despite the challenges of the global pandemic, 2020 marked multiple and significant milestones for TAAL in building the infrastructure, capacity, and global expertise to enable us to execute our strategic plan. We see evidence of Blockchain technology moving significantly closer to mass adoption. Our infrastructure and product innovations, built on the BitcoinSV protocol with its scalability and ultra-low transaction fee advantages, position us to enable enterprise transformation across global markets using this technology. I congratulate our entire team on their hard work and commitment towards preparing TAAL to be a  global blockchain leader.”

Connors, chairman and CEO. “David has been a strong partner and advisor to me and our executive team and has made many contributions to our success over the last 12 years, including building a world-class finance and legal organization to support our growth plans.

“I am delighted to welcome Bert to ISG,” said Connors. “Bert and I have known each other for 10 years and I have been impressed with his business acumen and vast array of experience. His global operating leadership as a CEO, his service as a CFO of a multibillion-dollar company, his M&A accomplishments and his experience leveraging technology services to support business operations will be extremely valuable to ISG as we accelerate our growth coming out of the pandemic. Bert’s character, integrity and demeanor are an excellent fit for our growth ambitions.”

Alfonso most recently was the CEO of Yowie Group, a global brand licensing company specializing in the development of consumer products and listed on the Australian Securities Exchange.
