Leader in Digital Presence Management Taps Senior Executive With Proven Record
of Driving Business Results and Client Service
PHOENIX, 2013-02-12 12:05 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Limelight Networks (Nasdaq:LLNW), a leader in Digital Presence Management,
today announced that it has appointed George Vonderhaar to the position of
chief sales officer. In the newly created role, he will report directly to
Robert Lento, president and chief executive officer, and will be responsible
for directing worldwide sales activities for the company.
'The importance of delivering an effective digital presence is becoming clear,'
says Vonderhaar. 'Marketers are looking for better ways to tell their stories,
to bring them to life in rich media, and to deliver them to audiences
everywhere. CIOs and CTOs have to enable all this while harnessing Big Data and
controlling costs. Getting this balance right is a strategic imperative - and
I'm confident Limelight's technologies and people have what it takes to help
customers strike that balance.'
'George brings a wealth of executive sales management experience to Limelight,'
said Lento. 'He has proven his ability to attract top talent, to lead
organizations to success, and to deliver on his objectives. I very much look
forward to having this great leader on our team.'
George Vonderhaar brings over 20 years of executive leadership to Limelight
Networks, including over 10 years in senior executive and general management
roles. Prior to joining Limelight, Vonderhaar held the position of general
manager of Convergys Corporation's Global Cable and Satellite Information
Management Group, where he was instrumental in driving the business unit to
market leadership and profitability. He also served as senior vice president,
client services for Convergys's HRM business, where he restructured complex
client relationships and contributed to the subsequent sale of the HRM unit. He
previously served as president of Convergys's Mobile, Cable, and Broadband
Solutions Groups with full P&L responsibility for those businesses.
Mr. Vonderhaar holds a BS in Business Administration, with concentrations in
Finance and Human Resources from Marquette University.
