OAKTON,
Va., May 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Otto Ladder
Safety, Inc. (the parent company of Otto Tech Systems) announced
the election of H.P. Goldfield, Cory
Scott, and James Bifulco to
its Board of Directors.
With technology embedded in a multiplatform ladder, Otto helps
safety professionals see and manage something no one has ever seen
- what happens before workers fall. Ladder accidents are the
leading cause of death for construction workers.
Field testing will conclude soon with the STO Building
Group and the world's first smart ladder, the Little Giant
Signal™ will be available in limited quantities in
the New York market this Fall. The
Signal™ is one of the featured technologies at this
year's ENR FutureTech, the preeminent construction technology
conference.
H.P. Goldfield brings a critical mix of Board governance and
international trade to Otto and will help lead us from a domestic
to a global business. During the Reagan Administration, Mr.
Goldfield served as Associate Counsel to the President at the White
House and then as U.S. Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Trade
Development. He is a Senior Consultant to the Albright
Stonebridge Group and a Senior International Advisor to global law
firm Hogan Lovells where he is responsible for international trade
and transactional problem-solving and developing and implementing
complex legislative and regulatory strategies. Mr. Goldfield served
for years on the Board of the US Chamber of Commerce and on the
Board and as chair of its Governance Committee of ENR 400
construction company Black & Veatch.
Cory Scott brings the property
owner perspective to Otto. He is Executive Vice President, Asset
Management for Macerich, a leading owner, operator, and developer
of top retail and mixed-use destinations in major U.S. markets
(NYSE:MAC) with its much-admired portfolio of market-dominant
properties. Macerich is the industry's leader in environmental
sustainability. A 25-year veteran of the real estate industry, Mr.
Scott has been instrumental in many major development projects,
including shaping the transformation of Tysons Corner Center from a
dominant super regional shopping center into a vibrant,
transit-oriented, mixed-use development.
Jim Bifulco is a co-founder of
Otto and among the most highly respected safety professionals in
the United States. For more than
25 years, Mr. Bifulco was Managing Member of Total Safety
Consulting, LLC (TSC), overseeing the activities of approximately
350 safety professionals assigned to major construction projects in
New York and along the East Coast
of the U.S. When TSC was acquired in 2021 by insurance giant AJ
Gallagher's claims and risk management division, Gallagher Bassett, Mr. Bifulco accepted the role
as GB's Managing Director of their Technical Services Division,
where he was tasked with developing and delivering aspects of their
national end to end risk management solutions. Mr. Bifulco remains
a strategic advisor to GBTS.
