TOKYO and MAYNARD, MA--(Marketwire - January 6, 2010) - Stratus Technologies announced today
that Haruyoshi Iida has rejoined the company as president, Stratus Japan
and Asia Pacific regions. Iida reports to David J. Laurello, president and
CEO.
In this same role as president, Iida launched Stratus' entry into these
geographies in 1986, directing business development, marketing, sales
channels, alliances, and customer services until 2003. Under his
leadership, Stratus established a growing and profitable business, an
unblemished reputation for product and service quality, and clear
distinction as the market leader for technology that delivers superior IT
availability. Iida was instrumental in forging close strategic
relationships with many of the top Japanese IT companies that continue to
remain strong today. Presently, the Japan/AP region represents
approximately one-third of Stratus' total revenue.
"We are very fortunate to have Iida-san return to the Stratus executive
team," said Laurello. "I have every confidence that we will continue to see
solid performance under his leadership at a time when the business
potential in these markets is at a high point."
Prior to rejoining Stratus, Iida was president and CEO of SolidWorks Japan
from September 2007, and president of UGS PLM Solutions before that. He has
a bachelor degree in commerce from Meiji University.
