Saint Louis, MO – December 20, 2013 — Award-winning editor and industry analyst Walt Boyes has returned full-time to Spitzer and Boyes, LLC (https://www.spitzerandboyes.com) where he has been a principal since 2002. Boyes’ return to Spitzer and Boyes comes after a decade-long stint as Editor-in-Chief of Control magazine and ControlGlobal.com.
“I am proud of what I, and my team, have done with Control and ControlGlobal.com. Over the past ten years, we have won numerous regional and national awards for our editorial content and our art direction,” Boyes said. “But like all things, there comes a time for a change.”
Walt has more than 40 years of experience in the automation industry. He is a Life Fellow of the ISA, the International Society of Automation. He is a member of IEEE. He is also a Fellow of the Institute for Measurement and Control (InstMC)in the UK, as well as a Chartered Measurement and Control Technologist.

Spitzer and Boyes LLC is a consulting firm devoted to assisting technology companies to better market their manufacturing and automation products. David W. Spitzer, PE and Walt Boyes are the principals of the firm. Spitzer and Boyes provides technology transfer and due diligence services for mergers and acquisitions in the technology environment, new product development consulting, and forensic engineering for technology cases.
Boyes will be leading a variety of content creation services, including the production of white papers, articles, website content, social media design and provision, and custom webinar services. “When I was a marketing director,” Boyes said, “it was extremely difficult to get decent content creation services fast and cost-effectively. Because Spitzer and Boyes can draw on over a century of instrumentation and automation experience, we know the industry, we know the equipment, we know the applications, and we know the people. We can provide clear communication content that is cost effective.”
Boyes will also provide the industry inside knowledge and expertise that have made him a sought-after analyst.
With Boyes’ return, Spitzer and Boyes LLC is adding a complete research capability. Mary Samuelson, former vice president at Rockhopper Research and Maritz Corp., will lead the quantitative research activity. Joy Ward, formerly senior project manager for The Right Brain People, will lead the qualitative research activity. David W. Spitzer will lead field device and final control element research in collaboration with Boyes and other leading industry associates.
Boyes brings with him his “Soundoff!!” blog, temporarily relocated to http://waltboyes.livejournal.com while the www.spitzerandboyes.com site is renovated. The “Directory of Lost Companies” which has been hosted at ControlGlobal.com since 2005 will return to spitzerandboyes.com.
