LogicMark Expands its Board of Directors by Naming Carine Schneider and Tom Wilkinson as Company’s Innovative Product Pipeline Continues to Grow (Updated with Additional Details)
LOUISVILLE, KY, October 31, 2023 — LogicMark, Inc. (Nasdaq: LGMK) (the “Company”), creator of the most innovative personal safety and security technology designed for the care economy, today announced that Carine Schneider, FGE, and Tom Wilkinson will join as the newest members of its Board of Directors. Ms. Schneider and Mr. Wilkinson both bring decades of corporate governance, finance, operations, technology, M&A, advisory and CEO experience.
“I am thrilled to welcome Carine and Tom to our Board of Directors. Carine’s demonstrated history of leadership and innovation in the technology and finance sectors, coupled with Tom’s extensive experience and influential work with a variety of successful technology companies, align perfectly with LogicMark’s vision to transform the care economy and improve the safety and quality of life for all,” said Chia-Lin Simmons, CEO of LogicMark. “We’re looking forward to their guidance and expertise as we take the next step in our evolution as a company.”
Ms. Schneider is a co-founder of Compass Equity Strategic Advisors and possesses extensive experience in the private market and global compensation industry.

“LogicMark is leading the charge to transform the rapidly growing care economy and ’silver tsunami,’” said Ms. Schneider. “The urgency for bringing modern technology to solutions like those LogicMark provides is more significant than ever, as close to 1 in 4 adults will be over 65 by 2030. It’s inspiring to join an organization that is making meaningful strides in empowering everyone to embrace independence.”
