“We are deeply saddened by the passing of Paul Folino, who served on the Lantronix Board since 2012,” said Jeremy Whitaker, Lantronix CFO and Interim CEO. “During his tenure, Paul’s leadership, profound business insight and ability to drive
management to deliver measurable results while building consensus helped Lantronix become a major player in the industrial IoT market. Paul was also a key contributor to the substantial growth the Company has experienced during the last several
years.”
“I have had the privilege of knowing Paul for over thirty years and serving with him for eleven years on the Board of Lantronix,” said Mr. Hoshi Printer, a current Lantronix Board member. “He was not only a key contributor to the success and
transformation of Lantronix but also set an example for all of us as a pillar of the Community. We are grateful for his many contributions, and on behalf of everyone at Lantronix, send condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues.”
In the past, Paul was named “Orange County Philanthropist of the Year” by the Association of Fundraising Professionals and sat on several Orange County non-profit boards, including Chapman University, Cal State Fullerton’s Business School and
Philanthropic Foundation, and the Orange County High School of the Arts. In addition, he was recognized by the Orange County Business Journal as one of the “Top 50 Most Influential Business Leaders” in Orange County and served on the Boards of
