RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, NC--(Marketwire - May 31, 2007) - Mi-Co, the mobile data capture
company, announced today that Melissa Neal has been hired into the newly
created position of Vice President of Channel Sales. Neal previously served
as the Director of Reseller Strategies at Global Software.
"Over the last several years, Mi-Co's partner centric model has been highly
successful. Our Vice President of Operations, Carolee Nail, has nurtured
our partner program from the beginning and the level of success that Mi-Co
has achieved, as Carolee did 'double duty,' is truly remarkable," said Dr.
Greg Clary, Mi-Co CEO. "Hiring Melissa will allow Mi-Co to take a much more
proactive role in identifying and recruiting partners as we focus even more
resources on our channel sales strategy."
Neal received both a bachelors degree and an MBA from North Carolina State
University in Raleigh and spent four years in the North Carolina Department
of Commerce as Business Development Manager for IT Industries. In this
role, Neal worked with companies that looked to expand through the
development of international partner channels.
"I have interacted with Mi-Co senior management for a number of years and
have followed the company's success," stated Neal, "and I welcome the
opportunity to join a company with such excellent technology as well as
such outstanding people."
Mi-Co also announced the retirement from the high technology scene of
software veteran Barrett Joyner. Joyner served as Senior VP of Mi-Co for
the last five years and previously spent fourteen years at SAS in a number
of capacities including Vice President of Sales and Marketing and President
of SAS North America. In addition, Joyner was Executive Vice President at
SciQuest and CEO of startup software company, FullSeven Technologies. After
25 years in the software industry, Joyner is pursuing opportunities in the
nonprofit development arena.
"Mi-Co has achieved a high level of success, the company has an excellent
management team in place and the partner-centric model is working. I
thought it was a good time to change careers," said Joyner,"and since the
Yankees were set at short stop, I decided to look for opportunities in the
nonprofit world."
"We asked Barrett to continue to be part of the Mi-Co family and he will be
serving as Mi-Co's VP of Marketing Emeritus," stated Clary, "We appreciate
that Barrett will continue to be part of the brain trust at Mi-Co."
