IRVINE, Calif.- Digital Map Products Inc. (DMP), a leading provider of location intelligence solutions for business and government agencies, announced today the appointment of Dave Cozzens to its board of directors. Cozzens will leverage his deep industry experience to provide consultative guidance around DMP’s strategic growth and positioning initiatives and will serve as a valuable resource as DMP pursues its mission to embed location technology into everyday workflows for businesses and governments across North America.

“I’m thankful for the opportunity to share my expertise and skills with a location technology company poised for continued growth and one highly focused on the success of its customers,” said Cozzens. “I look forward to working with DMP’s talented management team to extend the company’s market leadership across North America.”

Prior to Novell, Cozzens was the vice president of consulting at Cambridge Technology Partners (CTP) before its acquisition by Novell. He also launched and led CTP’s Strategy Management Consulting practices in the U.S. and Europe.
