Selectica, Inc. (NASDAQ: SLTC), provider of software that
accelerates sales cycles and streamlines contract processes, today
announced changes to the executive team.
The Board of Directors has appointed Board member Michael
Brodsky as Chairman and Interim Chief Executive Officer to lead the
Company's executive team, replacing Jason Stern, who was dismissed
as President and Chief Executive Officer, and who resigned as a
member of the Board of Directors of the Company. Alan Howe,
previously Chairman of the Board, will transition to become the
Company's Vice Chairman and Lead Independent Director.
"As we continue to build on our momentum in the market, attack
new segments, and leverage our unique assets, we believe Michael is
the right person and has the requisite experience to lead us
through this period of growth," said Mr. Howe. "We thank Jason for
his dedication to Selectica and for steering the company over the
past two and a half years, and we wish him well in all of his
future endeavors."
"Having been active on the Selectica Board for almost three
years, I believe that the company is exceptionally well positioned
and has great potential to grow our top-tier client base. Our goal
is to continually improve the effectiveness of our customers' sales
and contracting processes while simultaneously embracing a customer
first philosophy," said Brodsky. "I eagerly anticipate the
forthcoming challenges during this transition period, and I look
forward to working with the entire Selectica team and the Board as
we continue to focus on our mission of supplying our best in class
sales effectiveness solutions to a growing number of
industry-leading enterprises."
