San Francisco, CA, July 30, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Nixle, LLC, a leader in civilian messaging applications for local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies has announced the promotion of Eric Liu to its Chief Executive Officer position and appointment of Scott Mason as Chairman. Liu, who joined Nixle in 2008, was previously the company’s Chief Product Officer. These changes come as Nixle prepares to make significant announcements pertaining to feature enhancements.
“My focus in this new role will be to stay closely in tune with our core constituency and to develop feature enhancements that support their goal of better outreach and communications with their communities and citizens,” stated Liu. “Nixle's commitment to our longstanding relationships with law enforcement agencies has never been stronger and is underscored by the many new initiatives that we have in the pipeline and are developing.”
As CPO at Nixle, Liu was responsible for leading the product management, engineering, and creative teams. Under his direction, the company developed the hugely successful Nixle Wire application adopted by more than 4,600 public safety agencies throughout the United States. Liu also oversaw the development of other successful products such as Nixle Interconnect, an interoperable mobile communications platform, and Nixle Dial, an emergency-grade mass dialing system.
