CHICAGO, IL — November 27, 2006 — Informance International, a leader
in Enterprise Manufacturing Intelligence (EMI) software solutions, today announced
the addition of two members to the executive team: Timothy C. McCarthy joins as
the Vice President of Worldwide Sales and Sudy Bharadwaj joins as the Chief Marketing
Officer and Vice President of Solutions Consulting (pre-sales); both will report
to Sunil Singh, CEO and President.
"Our investors and stakeholders have seen Informance deliver significant
value through rapid growth with marquee customers," said Mr. Singh. "Tim
and Sudy will ensure ongoing customer focus as we drive sales and sustain growth
with our world-class manufacturing analytics. We will depend on their expertise
to lead sales and marketing efforts as the company continues to lead the market
with next-generation EMI solutions."
Tim McCarthy has successfully built sales organizations to enable rapid growth
for a number of global technology firms. As the former Vice President of Sales of
SolArc, he developed and deployed direct and channel sales execution strategies
throughout the Americas and established go-to-market strategies. Before SolArc,
he was President of Field Operations for Fuzion, where he was instrumental in the
sale of the company to McAfee, Inc. McCarthy was previously Regional Vice President
of Sales at i2 Technologies, where he built the leading Americas geographic sales
team and developed a notable client list that included Halliburton, Mary-Kay, and
LSG SkyChefs, among many others. Mr. McCarthy helped Vantive Corporation drive sales
efficiency and accountability as Global Channel Sales Manager with a team of account
managers responsible for multi-million dollar accounts like EDS, General Motors,
and Rolls Royce. With more than 20 years technology sales and leadership experience,
Tim earned his B.S. in Business Management from LeTourneau University in Longview,
Texas.
Sudy Bharadwaj was most recently Vice President and Research Director of Global
Supply Management for Aberdeen Group, a prominent business technology research firm.
Prior to Aberdeen, Sudy was the Vice President of Marketing and Solutions Delivery
for MINDFLOW Technologies, a leading strategic sourcing solutions provider. During
his time with MINDFLOW, Mr. Bharadwaj helped to lead the company toward a successful
acquisition by Emptoris, a supply and contract management technology firm. While
Mr. Bharadwaj was Director of Sales Consulting at i2 Technologies, he was a member
of the management team that led the company to $63M in sales in 16 months, during
an industry downturn. With nearly 20 years of business process leadership, Sudy
earned his B.S. in Computer Science from the State University of New York at Buffalo.
Key industry analysts who have kept an eye on Informance as a leading manufacturing
analytics firm, have taken note of the growing management team, and most analysts
expect an important product announcement within the next 30 days. Colin Masson of
AMR Research commented that, "Enterprise manufacturing intelligence (EMI) is
a hot topic for manufacturers and now is the time to put all real-time operational
data into business context. Informance is among those with an EMI framework that
offers the broadest support of the core capabilities [first] defined in 2003, which
weÁll continue to assess against the extended set of criteria."‡
