He most recently served as an advisory board member and vice president of product management at Awarepoint Corporation, a leading provider of enterprise awareness and Real Time Location Solutions (RTLS) for major healthcare systems. Before he joined Awarepoint, Mojica was the General Manager for AXS-One, a publicly traded software company in Rutherford, NJ.

“Peter is exactly the right leader for bioVIGIL,” said bioVIGIL’s Chief Executive Officer, Jason Howe. “I believe that great companies are often the results of original thinking, and given the future ubiquity of hand-hygiene compliance within the healthcare continuum, we have an opportunity to completely re-imagine the experience. With his extensive technology and visionary background Peter brings this capability to bioVIGIL and more importantly he has a long track record of delivering innovative yet practical solutions that work in the real world and solve hard customers’ problems. His strong management experience will help shape bioVIGIL as we continue our growth and global expansion. And most importantly for anyone taking on the new CTO role at bioVIGIL Peter is a natural fit with our corporate culture.”
