Executive Summary
Duos Technologies appointed Christopher J. DeAlmeida as permanent CFO, replacing interim CFO Adrian Goldfarb who returns to a strategic advisor role. The appointment follows a planned executive transition and concludes a comprehensive search, with DeAlmeida receiving a $350,000 base salary, up to 80% bonus potential, and 200,000 restricted shares with three-year cliff vesting. This is a routine leadership change with no financial surprises — neutral for the stock.
