SAN JOSE, CA, May 2, 2026 - (ACN Newswire) - Sensiba, a leading accounting, tax, and consulting firm, today announced the appointment of Monic Ramirez as Managing Partner, beginning today, the start of their fiscal year. Ramirez succeeds John Sensiba, who served 18 years in the position. The announcement is part of a broader series of leadership and strategic milestones that position Sensiba for its next chapter of growth.

"Monic's ascent from college graduate to Managing Partner exemplifies what Sensiba stands for - talent, tenacity, and a genuine commitment to our clients and our people. She is the right leader to carry our firm into the future."

- John Sensiba, Partner, Sensiba

Ramirez joined Sensiba as a staff associate and rose steadily through the ranks - from Senior Manager to Partner to Tax Partner-in-Charge - building a reputation for technical excellence, client advocacy, and a forward-thinking approach to advisory services. Her promotion to Managing Partner reflects both her individual accomplishments and the firm's commitment to developing and elevating exceptional talent from within.

"I am honored to be stepping into the role of Managing Partner at Sensiba. We have always been grounded in relationships - how we show up for our clients, our people, and our communities. As we look ahead, I am committed to building on that foundation while continuing to grow and evolve together."

- Monic Ramirez, Managing Partner, Sensiba

Ramirez's appointment is accompanied by significant organizational momentum. The firm continues to strengthen leadership diversity, with 13 of 30 equity partners identifying as female (43%) and 6 of 30 (20%) identifying as individuals of color.

Last year, the firm acquired AssuranceLab, an Australia-based compliance automation firm specializing in SOC 2 and ISO 27001, thereby expanding Sensiba's reach across North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region. In that acquisition, Sensiba appointed Nick Lew Ton as Chief Growth Officer, James Andrew Smith as Chief Product Officer, and Patrick Hegarty as Sr. Director of International Services and Growth to its executive team. These roles are dedicated to driving market expansion and building proprietary AI-powered products that reduce manual tasks and increase client efficiency. As part of its continued growth, Sensiba has also transitioned its headquarters from San Ramon to San Jose, reflecting the firm's expanding presence in Silicon Valley.

Sensiba also welcomes four new partners: Anna Baker, Carson Chen, William Confer, and Chris Roe. Evan Stephens has been promoted to Tax Partner-in-Charge, succeeding Ramirez in the role and ensuring continuity of leadership across the firm's tax practice. John Sensiba will remain actively involved with the firm, mentoring new partners and supporting strategic initiatives.

LAS VEGAS, NV, Apr 12, 2026 - (ACN Newswire) - A Clark County District Court judge has ruled against Jason Shurka in an ongoing case brought by Energy Enhancement System, LLC. Judge Timothy C. Williams denied Shurka's anti-SLAPP motion to dismiss in its entirety, finding that his public statements about EESystem were "not made in good faith" and "were made with knowledge of their falsehood" (Case No. A-25-910216-B). In separate federal proceedings in Florida and Nevada, courts ordered Shurka to pay a combined $54,034.05 in sanctions after judges found his attempts to move the case to federal court lacked a reasonable legal basis.

Shurka had filed the anti-SLAPP motion claiming his public statements about EESystem were protected speech made in good faith. Judge Williams rejected that defense in its entirety. Under Nevada's anti-SLAPP statute, that denial means the court found Shurka could not meet even the threshold requirement of demonstrating his statements were made without knowledge of their falsity. In plain terms: the judge ruled he knew what he was saying was not true when he said it.

The Clark County ruling is the latest in a series of legal defeats for Shurka across multiple jurisdictions. Federal judges have repeatedly returned his filings to the state courts where EESystem originally brought its claims, with one federal judge in Florida characterizing his removal attempt as "objectively baseless."

A forensic analysis has also entered the permanent public record at the Zenodo EU Open Research Repository (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.19389516). The report identifies the hardware behind The Light System as commercial LED display panels available at wholesale for $900 to $1,200, sold to consumers at prices reaching over $106,000. The study used to market the device was conducted on a single undisclosed test subject using shed mouth cells - the kind your body discards on its own - that burst and die on contact with the liquid the researcher placed them in.

The litigation began after Shurka, once involved in a limited marketing capacity with EESystem, launched a competing venture and made public statements that courts have now found to be knowingly false.

Shurka et al., Case No. A-25-910216-B (Clark County District Court, Nevada) and 2:25-cv-01234 (U.S. District Court, Eastern District of New York).
