(TSXV: PLUR) (OTCQB: PLCKF) and related subsidiaries (“Plurilock” or the “Company”), an identity-centric cybersecurity solutions provider for workforces, has announced that Garr Stephenson, Jr. will be joining the Company as its Chief Revenue Officer (CRO).
Stephenson has 20 years of senior leadership directing multiple profit and loss divisions within technology companies that supply products and services to U.S. government organizations.

Since listing on the TSX Venture Exchange in September 2020, Plurilock has invested in and showcased its proprietary authentication technologies to customers around the world. With an intended strategy of acquiring distribution, the Company has successfully completed acquisitions of Aurora Systems Consulting, Inc., and most recently, Integra Networks Corporation. Both organizations are providing access to over 140 customers including the U.S. Department of the Navy, U.S. Department of Defense and the U.S. Air Force.
