Mr. Hull is the vice president of sales for UNIConnect, a LIMS and process management software company based in Sandy, Utah. He received a degree from Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah from the Marriott School of Management, (B.S. in Business Management, 1992). He worked for 12 years as a product and account manager for Computype, a bar code label automation company focused on laboratory applications, among other markets. During this time Mr. Hull consulted with many laboratories and learned first-hand the challenges that labs face in managing data, samples, supplies, resources and equipment. He recognized that even though many labs appeared to be similar at first glance, they all had very unique needs in tracking and controlling samples and data. He designed specialized labeling sets for various types of tubes and vials and created complex serialization schemes to assure unique identification of samples. He also developed a colored label scheme for laboratory technicians to quickly identify the sample type by sight rather than scanning. He design complex donation number sets for blood label used in the collection of blood by multiple blood centers throughout the intermountain west. In 2006 Mr. Hull joined UNIConnect, an emerging software company with empowering process management technology for laboratories. His background in bar code label automation gives him a unique perspective on bringing all the process management pieces together, including software systems to manage data and processes, and bar code label systems which become the entry point into the software system.
