Pulse Technology has named a new business development executive at its Merrillville office.
The information technology, printing services and office solutions company, successor to McShane’s in Munster and Kramer Leonard in Schererville, has hired Precious Bonner of Gary for 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 organization that helps inmates prepare to reenter society. She started the foundation two years ago.
It offers workshops and classes in prisons as well as to newly released inmates after they leave their correctional institution. The goal is to help them reintegrate into society and get back on their feet.

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