Karl will lead Novara's software development for a wide range of GIS, consulting and mapping services.

“We are excited to have Karl onboard,” says Neal O’Driscoll president of Novara. “Karl will direct the overall product development and manage incoming projects through completion. His track record of being able to analyze, design and develop software enhancements and new modules is outstanding and our clients will greatly benefit from this experience.
