Duos Technologies Appoints Rail Industry Veteran
Frank Lonegro to Board of Directors
Former CFO at Class 1 Rail Operator CSX Brings
Over 20 Years of Public Company Leadership Experience
Jacksonville, FL / Globe Newswire / July
19, 2023 - Duos Technologies Group, Inc. (“Duos” or the
“Company”) (Nasdaq: DUOT), through its operating subsidiary Duos Technologies, Inc. a provider of vision based analytical
technology solutions, has appointed rail industry veteran Frank Lonegro to its Board of Directors. With a 30-year professional career
spanning leadership roles in finance, law, technology and operations, Mr. Lonegro enjoyed a long and distinguished career at CSX Corporation
(NASD: CSX) starting in 2000 as Assistant General Counsel and serving in various senior executive roles including Chief Financial Officer
from 2015 to 2019. He currently serves as the Chief Financial Officer for Beacon Roofing Supply (NASD: BECN), a Fortune 500 distributor
of roofing materials and complementary building products such as siding and waterproofing.
Mr. Lonegro will serve as an independent Director
of Duos, replacing Ed Harris who served on Duos Board until November 2022. His addition to the Duos Board brings the board composition
back to five total directors, four of whom are independent. During his tenure at CSX, Mr. Lonegro was a prominent advocate for rail safety.
He led CSX’s Positive Train Control (“PTC”) initiative from 2008 to 2015, and represented the industry in several Congressional
and regulatory hearings. Mr. Lonegro has a proven track record of driving shareholder value, spearheading major initiatives, navigating
complex environments and transforming organizations. His depth of experience will contribute significantly to the Duos Board.
“I am delighted to welcome Frank to our
Board,” said Chuck Ferry, Duos CEO. “Emerging, high-growth companies are well served by Board members like Frank, who have
the expertise necessary to mentor senior management and the vast industry knowledge to help guide and propel our growth in an industry
as important and complex as rail. I look forward to working with Frank as Duos continues its growth trajectory and benefitting from his
hands-on approach to sharing his deep industry knowledge.”
“On behalf of the entire Duos organization, I would like to
formally welcome Frank to our Board,” said Company Board Chair Kenneth Ehrman. “Frank brings decades of leadership experience
in key areas of the transportation and industrial sector, including rail operations and safety technology, strategic planning, and financial
and regulatory stewardship, all of which are vital to our future.”
Mr. Lonegro added: “I’ve been very
impressed by the Duos rail inspection portal technology and believe the Company is addressing a large, unmet need much in the way that
PTC did. I look forward to offering my knowledge, experience and relationships with freight and passenger rail operators to help make
Duos the leading wayside transportation technology provider.”
