In this newly created post, Link will work closely with Apple distributors to further develop and support the penetration for the company's line of Face Place photo booths.

"As our growth curve continues to rise, Apple is building a larger team of outstanding professionals to keep up with demand," said CEO Allen Weisberg. "I've known and respected Kris for many years. She understands the coin-op industry inside and out, from the perspective of small distributors to that of large manufacturers. She appreciates the value of new technology and she knows the power of 21st century marketing as well as old-fashioned, face-to-face rapport. We couldn't be happier to bring Kris aboard in this vital new position."

Link entered the industry in 1994 as a distributor sales representative with MH Associates out of Fargo, North Dakota. In 2008 she joined JVL as business development manager for the west and mid-west and three years later she was recruited by AMI Entertainment Networks as northern regional sales manager. She eventually moved to AMI's MegaTouch division when it was established separately.
