CARSON CITY — Governor Brian Sandoval today announced he has appointed Bruce Breslow as Director of the Department of Business and Industry, effective November 12, 2012. Breslow is currently Director of the Department of Motor Vehicles.
“Bruce’s people-first approach to problem solving has helped pioneer a new era for customer service at the DMV,” Governor Brian Sandoval said. “His innovative thinking has led to the development of mobile applications, the placement of DMV self service kiosks at grocery stores throughout the state and a reduction in wait times for customers at the DMV. I am confident that Bruce’s leadership and customer-first mentality will be an invaluable asset to B&I.”
