Hollis, NH — October 13, 2005 — Mindreef®, Inc., a
leading provider of collaborative solutions for Web services and
service-oriented architectures (SOA), today announced the appointment
of Leland (Lee) Phillips as vice president of sales.
In this newly created position, Lee is responsible for overseeing
Mindreef's global sales operations and reports directly to President
and Founder, Frank Grossman. The company's Mindreef SOAPscope®
Web services diagnostic software has been deployed by thousands of
customers worldwide. Mindreef products enable distributed development
teams to build and maintain applications for a SOA in a highly
collaborative manner.
"The addition of Lee comes at an excellent time for Mindreef as we’re
seeing more mainstream SOA deployments from our customers as the Web
services market reaches critical mass," said Grossman. "As we expand
our product line to include more sophisticated offerings, Lee’s
extensive experience in increasing sales, profit and marketshare will
be a driving force in our success."
With more than 20 years of technology sales and management experience,
Lee has an impressive record of accomplishment. Prior to joining
Mindreef, he served as vice president of worldwide sales and customer
support at Lumigent – during which time the company's sales revenues
increased seven-fold due to expanded sales efforts, new partnerships
and strategic OEM relationships.
Lee also served as vice president of sales and marketing at Braxtel
Communications, following ten years at 3Com in a range of sales and
marketing management positions. Prior to 3Com, he held positions in
advanced systems design at the MITRE Corporation and the U.S. Air
Force. Lee received a Bachelor's degree with a dual major in Computer
Science and Mathematics from the University of Oklahoma, and completed
graduate work in computer science and large-scale system redundancy at
the University of Houston and UCLA.
"I'm extremely impressed with the customer response and market
awareness based on Mindreef’s initial product," said Phillips.
"Mindreef SOAPscope has built a loyal following and our customers have
given us invaluable insight into their needs in real-world SOA
deployments. Their feedback has set the direction for compelling new
products and I look forward to helping introduce them to the market."
