KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 30, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Saepio Technologies, the leading provider of simple-to-use yet powerful solutions for managing, distributing and customizing marketing assets, has announced that two senior level sales executives have joined the company to support its rapid growth and new business demands.
Jason Reid joins Saepio as Director of Business Development after more than six years at Cerner Corporation where he excelled in sales leadership and managing strategic sales initiatives for a large number of Cerner's Midwest clients. At Cerner, Reid worked directly with C-level executives at large hospitals and extensive healthcare organizations on sales of software and services. Prior to joining Cerner, Reid worked in IT consulting and telecom procurement.
"Saepio's current and upcoming solutions raise the bar for the competition in the Marketing Asset Management arena," Reid notes. "It is an exciting time to be at Saepio and I look forward to helping drive execution of the company's vision."
Senior Account Executive Scott Gaither rejoins Saepio after a short hiatus. Gaither brings more than 10 years of experience in C-level sales to both business-to-business and business-to-consumer organizations. During Gaither's earlier term at Saepio, he was responsible for securing numerous top brand name clients. Before returning to Saepio, Gaither -- a former professional soccer player who played for the Kansas City Comets and Kansas City Attack -- managed a rapidly growing franchise company in the children's health and fitness industry.
"I am extremely pleased to be back at Saepio," Gaither says. "My time away from Saepio helped me further appreciate the value Saepio products deliver to companies with distributed marketing needs. Saepio is the clear leader in Marketing Asset Management technology and can make a profound difference for the companies it serves."
In spite of the slow national economy which often curbs marketing and advertising expenditures, Saepio has experienced rapid growth throughout the past 12 months. The addition of Reid and Gaither will only serve to accelerate that growth, observes John Thomson, Saepio's president and chief executive officer.
"Saepio is rapidly gaining recognition for our Marketing Asset Management platform and the value it provides corporate marketers," Thomson notes. "Individuals like Jason and Scott are key resources for corporate marketers looking to solve real issues and position their companies for long-term success. We are thrilled to have these two highly talented individuals on our team."
Earlier this year, Saepio was named a "Cool Vendor" by leading analyst firm Gartner for its technology solutions. "Best-of-breed technology and a strong group of talented people are at the heart of the recognition Saepio is receiving," said Thomson. "When you mix talented people with strong revenue growth and an innovative strategic direction, the outcome is a bright future ahead."
