Pulse Technology has named a new business development executive at its Merrillville office.

The information technology, print services and office solutions company, the successor to McShane’s in Munster and Kramer Leonard in Schererville, hired Precious Bonner of Gary to serve in the role. She will work with the company’s sales team to advance business development.

Bonner, who earned a bachelor’s degree in accounting from Maryville University in St. Louis, previously managed a Verizon Wireless store in LaPorte. She also serves as director of the Bonner Foundation, a nonprofit that helps prisoners prepare to return to society. She started the foundation two years ago.

It offers workshops and classes inside prisons and also to newly released prisoners after they get out of their correctional institution. The goal is to assist them as they reintegrate to society and get back on their feet.

Pulse Technology serves clients throughout the Midwest from its sales offices in Merrillville, Schaumburg and Rockford.

“We’re pleased to welcome Precious to our Pulse team,” Vice President of Technology Vince Miceli said. “She brings experience and enthusiasm to her role, and we are confident that she will be a tremendous asset to us as our company continues to expand its products and services throughout Indiana and beyond.”

Pulse Technology dates back to 1955 and was formed when Des Plaines Office Equipment merged with McShane’s and Kramer Leonard, two of the best-known and longest-running print shops in Northwest Indiana.
