Mr. Goryance enjoyed a thirty year career
in various Sales and Marketing roles with the Antenna
Specialists Division of Allen Telecom Incorporated, having
served his last ten years as Divisional President. In
1992, he proposed and initiated the discussions that lead to the
acquisition of the Alliance Group by Allen.
During his tenure with Antenna Specialists,
Kim oversaw the introductory launches of innovative wireless
communications antennas and products such as the original
patented On-Glass® mobile antenna which became an icon for the
cellular industry; the first
VARI-TILT™ Omni-Directional base station antenna with field
adjustable Variable Electrical Beam Tilt capability; the compact
and affordable Extend-A-Cell cellular repeater for hole filling
along major thoroughfares and urban canyons, and their
revolutionary line of high performance site management filter
products utilizing leading edge ceramic and strip line
technologies. In 2001, Antenna Specialists designed and
manufactured the first specialty Truck, Marine and On-Glass
antennas for XM Radio as well as the first in-building repeater
kits for Satellite Radio retail partners enabling them to
demonstrate the new SDARS service for in-store customers.
In 2003, Allen Telecom Group was acquired
by Andrew Corporation and Kim assumed the role of Vice President
and General Manager of Andrew’s Mobile Antenna Products group.
In November 2004, Andrew’s Mobile Antenna Products Group was
acquired by PCTEL.
Mr. Goryance completed his B.A. at
Cleveland State University and his Master in Business
Administration at Lake Erie College.
