The new CEO of a Moore County company that makes touch-screen kiosks is a former top executive at Linux software company Red Hat.

Nick Van Wyk has been appointed CEO of Meridian Kiosk in Aberdeen. He most recently was senior transformation executive and vice president of global operations at Raleigh-based Red Hat and reported directly to Charlie Peters, the company's chief financial officer.

"We'd be hard-pressed to find a better fit for Merdian than Nick," the company's founder and former CEO, Chris Gilder, said in a prepared statement. "His vast experience in creating channels and business operations will help take us to the next level."

Meridian officials couldn't immediately be reached for additional comment.

The privately held company was founded in 1999. Customers, according to its website, include HP, Cingular, Red Bull, Mazda, Motorola and Food Lion.
