Pervasive Announces Executive Management Additions to Optimize
Organization for Growth and Global Expansion BMC Software and
Motorola Veterans Join Pervasive Executive Team to Drive Stronger
Global Operating Synergies in Data Management and Integration
Product Lines AUSTIN, Texas, June 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Pervasive Software(R) Inc. (NASDAQ:PVSW), a global value leader in
data infrastructure software, today announced a new management
organization designed to strengthen the platform for worldwide
expansion. Pervasive is pleased to name BMC Software veteran,
Curtis Hill, as vice president of engineering and former Motorola
corporate marketing vice president, Sandy West, as vice president
of marketing. Mike Hoskins, vice president and general manager of
the Integration Products Division and former president of Data
Junction (acquired by Pervasive in 2003) has been appointed chief
technology officer. Suaad Sait, formerly vice president and general
manager of the Database Products Division, will now take the post
of vice president and general manager, products and markets.
"Following the successful acquisition of Data Junction, Pervasive
has been steadily and profitably building the database and
integration businesses. In less than a year, we have evolved from a
one product, one channel, one market company, to multiple products
for various channels in a worldwide marketplace," said David
Sikora, president and CEO of Pervasive Software. "In order to
maintain this strong operational momentum and seize the growth
opportunities which exist in the markets we serve, the new
executive team has been assembled to capitalize on synergies
between the data management and integration product lines and
achieve superior, long-term financial performance for our
shareholders." Pervasive will bring the data management and
integration product teams together by merging the Database and
Integration Product Divisions, originally created to ensure a
smooth transition following the Data Junction acquisition. In his
new role as vice president and general manager of products and
markets, Suaad Sait will focus on product line and market segment
opportunity development for all of Pervasive's products worldwide.
In his new role as chief technology officer, Mike Hoskins will lead
Pervasive's technology direction and evangelize the company's
industry-leading low-TCO approach to data management and
integration worldwide. Curtis Hill, a 25-year veteran of software
engineering management and emerging technologies, joins Pervasive
as the vice president of engineering, a critical role as he will
lead the worldwide technical operations, including development,
quality assurance and technical support for all data infrastructure
software products. With extensive expertise leading large,
geographically distributed teams with low cost technology
production skills across hundreds of products, Curtis will also be
charged with accelerating the company's globalization strategy.
Most recently, he served as vice president of engineering at BMC
Software for the Enterprise Data Management product group, where he
led a 550 person engineering team spanning the United States, the
United Kingdom and India. Over the last 10 years, he has
successfully managed large product development organizations with
an established track record of creating high quality, on-time
delivery of complex commercial applications for Boole & Babbage
(acquired by BMC), Chain Bridge Systems, Landmark Systems and
Phillips Petroleum. Sandy West joins Pervasive as vice president of
marketing, and will spearhead Pervasive's brand building efforts
and product marketing initiatives as the company expands its
presence worldwide. With more than 25 years experience leading
corporate branding initiatives and executing marketing strategies
for technology companies including Apple, Cisco, Dell, Oracle and
Motorola, Sandy comes to Pervasive directly from Troux Technologies
where she most recently served as vice president of marketing.
Prior to Troux, she served as vice president and director of
corporate marketing communications for Motorola at their corporate
offices. In addition, she has previously held leadership positions
at KPMG and IBM. Commenting on the new management team, Sikora
added, "Pervasive executives distinguish themselves in the way they
consistently drive strong business results, achieving remarkable
records of performance and accountability. I am excited by the
addition of 2 world-class executives to our already accomplished
team, and confident that Pervasive is now extremely well-
positioned to take advantage of the growth and globalization
opportunities ahead." About Pervasive Software Pervasive Software
