(1888PressRelease) June 07, 2022 - Toronto, Canada. - ACTO, the only complete commercial learning platform for the life science industry, is strengthening its executive management team with two key additions to meet US demand.

In support of this accelerated growth in the US, ACTO has appointed John Schultz as Chief Sales Officer to lead and rapidly expand the Sales team.

I feel strongly aligned with ACTO’s vision and look forward to helping the Company achieve success for years to come.”

To further support this development, ACTO has named Alison Muller as Chief Marketing Officer.
