Implant Sciences Further Expands Sales & Marketing Team; Creates Government Marketing & Sales Division

WILMINGTON, MA – Implant Sciences Corporation (OTCQB: IMSC) (PINKSHEETS: IMSC), a high technology supplier of systems and sensors for homeland security markets, today announced hiring four additional sales and marketing managers, as well as the establishment of a specialized Government Marketing and Sales team aimed at serving the needs of domestic homeland security in the U.S.

Implant Sciences projects that the global explosives trace detection market will grow to approximately $1 billion by 2014. A study by IMS research estimates that 42% of that market is in the U.S. To date, Implant Sciences has had increasing traction with international sales through its growing global distribution network.

“The expansion of our sales and marketing team over the past 12 months has directly resulted in significant sales increases, primarily from international markets,” stated Implant Sciences CEO, Glenn Bolduc. “With the addition of these four talented sales and marketing individuals, we aim to further increase revenue growth through domestic U.S. sales to government and private industry.”

Implant Sciences’ newly formed Government Marketing and Sales team consists of Marc Gregorio, Director of Federal Business Development, and Jessica Tocco, Government Marketing Manager.

Marc Gregorio was recently Director of Government Markets for the Security & Detection Systems Division of L-3 Communications, a major defense contractor and government services provider. With L-3, Marc focused on key customers at the Departments of Homeland Security, Justice, State, and Defense. Prior to L-3, he was Director of Federal Sales at Rapiscan Systems, a leading provider of security inspection systems. He has held executive level sales, marketing, and operations positions with several other companies in the electronic security, non-intrusive inspection and explosives trace detection market.

Jessica Tocco has deep experience in commerce and government. She started her career as an Intern at The White House, working directly for Karl Rove, the Senior Advisor to the President. She was then Confidential Assistant to Carlos Gutierrez, the Secretary of the United States Department of Commerce. Prior to joining Implant Sciences, she was Director of the American Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam and the Director of the Asia Pacific Council of American Chambers.

Kelly Wennik, a successful sales professional with more 20 years of marketing, sales and business development experience working with top-tier Fortune 100 companies, joins Implant Sciences as Managing Director of the Americas. She will be responsible for all countries in North and South America, including U.S. sales, excluding federal government. Before joining Implant Sciences, Ms. Wennik was a Vice President with MORPACE, delivering industry relevant analysis and consulting services. Prior to that, she was Director, Client Development with Harris Interactive and Business Development Manager for Leading Indicator Systems.
