MidAtlantics founding partners, Louis Zuegner and William Parkhill are excited to have Mele as a senior member of the engineering team, who will be key to the long-term growth and excellence of the Company.

“We recognize that a major part of successfully growing the Company is our ability to bring the best, brightest, and most passionate people onto our team,” Louis Zuegner said.  “We have the utmost confidence in Joe’s abilities, which will allow him to hit the ground running and to create an immediate impact.”

William Parkhill echoes these thoughts. “Joe brings a tremendous amount of experience and energy to the Company. We are confident in his ability to help existing and future clients with their most complex engineering challenges.”
