Mr. O'Dell, an experienced sales and marketing executive, joins Caliber's Board of Directors as it revamps its global sales and marketing program. Most recently, Mr. O'Dell, age 67, was Executive Vice President–Sales & Marketing at DUSA Pharmaceuticals, Inc., where he helped lead the company's reorganization, turnaround and eventual sale to Sun Pharma for $230 million.

Mr. O'Dell said, "During my years in the healthcare industry, I have learned that introducing innovative and disruptive technologies to the marketplace has been the cornerstone to success. I am extremely encouraged by Caliber I.D.'s success in developing the VivaScope ® system, an innovative and comprehensive suite of technology solutions with applications in dermatology, surgery and research. Although Caliber already has a stellar group of customers that spans leading clinical and medical centers, cosmetic companies and academia, I believe there is much more potential in the marketplace for the VivaScope system. I look forward to working with Caliber's management team to increase awareness and sales of VivaScope in the global markets."
