Wick will also work closely with the other members of Numerica’s Executive Team to set strategic goals, improve operational efficiency, evaluate business procedures, and implement new directives for the company’s continued growth.

“Numerica is extremely fortunate to have found someone with Don’s broad experience in working in government administration and law enforcement,” says Jeff Poore, President of Numerica. “His skills in public safety, operations management, and organizational leadership will play a key role as Numerica continues to grow.”
